I wonder how America would've turned out if "we" had always insisted on allowing into the county only those who all the well-respected experts had concluded, at any given point in time, were "the highest quality immigrants"?

The irony is that hoariest of hoary of political and social bona fides is the story of how one's father and mother "came from nothing" and "had no education" and "sacrificed their own comfort" so that "me and my brother" could get "what we needed to make a success of ourselves."
It is NOT the story of how my electrical engineer father was imported from Hungary to help build the energy grid in this country. Our story, particularly for conservatives, is that we work our way from the bottom to the top; we don't start at the top and move higher. Of course, I'm sure some electrical engineers did make it through Ellis Island.

The thing is, opinions on immigration policy have never really divided clearly along party lines nor even along standard conservative/liberal continuums. This holds true even more so in some other countries. So it is always one issue where atypical coalitions are built.
