I'd lean that vs the reast of the world, both US parties are very pro immigrant

For example, neither party has revoked all visas and sent everyone home, and both parties have presided over plenty of immigrants both entering the country and becoming citizens.

The long queues and things are that the US is immigrant friendly, but with rate limits. It's one thing to leave the rate limits alone, another to reduce them, and another to increase them

It may seem that this is relative (and from a humanitarian perspective, it may very well be), but from a marxist perspective this is not a relative issue. While the owning class can have free flow of capital, any restriction on the freedom of movement is bad, as it creates low-cost-labor zones which the workers are unable to migrate from and can be exploited by capitalist enterprises. Advocating for free-movement of people is pro-immigration, advocating against it is anti-immigration. And advocating for forced removal of people (i.e. deportation) is both anti-immigration and anti-human-rights.
