The article you offered in support cited a reduction in wages (adjusted for inflation... there's the real thief that you say nothing about) in these fields. It gave no consideration of the fact that any factor other than immigration was responsible.
I don't deny that a higher supply of labor without changes in the demand will lower the price. But demand increases for many services with immigration. These immigrants are not just working machines that never consume.
Even the studies most critical of immigration show fairly small decline in low skilled wages. Some studies show virtually no decline. And all of them show increases in wages in other sectors. There is no race to the bottom in any sector.
