The first article you link has the following explaining their stance on immigration [0]:

“This approach will ensure that immigration does not depress wages and working conditions or encourage marginal low-wage industries that depend heavily on substandard wages, benefits and working conditions.”

And:

(1) an independent commission to assess and manage future flows, based on labor market shortages that are determined on the basis of actual need;

(2) a secure and effective worker authorization mechanism;

(3) rational operational control of the border;

(4) adjustment of status for the current undocumented population; and

(5) improvement, not expansion, of temporary worker programs, limited to temporary or seasonal, not permanent, jobs.
