How much lower must immigration-overhead get before employers feel like half productive US workers are not worth the tradeoff against desperately dedicated internationals, geez louise.
"Cheaper labor willing to work more" is how I read that, and the antithesis of efforts to reduce the work week.
I'd prefer US law be tailored to incentivize US companies to employ US sourced labor, where our labor law can further ratchet the work week down (we're already incredibly productive compared to 40 years ago, but wages have been stagnant [1]; we've already earned a reduction in the work week we haven't gotten). I wouldn't want our country to export environmental pollution or labor externalities like child sweatshops, and in the same way, I would want to prevent our multinationals subjugating employees outside of our country's internal labor regulatory framework.

Don't worry though, it's not just immigrants to the US. I emigrated from the US and to be completely honest I still work hard but not with the underlying worry I always had just a little bit of before I secured my status more permanently.
