They aren't, both theoretically and empirically there is absolutely no basis for this claim. There is no economic model stating this and Les Trente Glorieuses have shown in a number of European countries that immigration, a relatively high standard of living on the low end of the wage spectrum and the probably highest social standards in the history of mankind can coexist very well, with high GDP growth to boot.
