Note that nativists also create externalities by fostering institutions that assault people who would otherwise have been hired, started a new company, taken on a new tenant, etc.
The estimated losses caused by nativists are staggering:
"A literature summary by Clemens (2011) cited estimates that free global labor mobility would increase gross world product (GWP), also called “world GDP”, by somewhere in the range of 67-147%. The estimates suggest that even partial liberalizations of migration could yield gains greater than the estimated gains from complete free trade or free capital flows."

Consider how much you [Jeremy Kauffman] personally would have lost had you been forced to live in Philadelphia, instead of moving to New Hampshire. Now consider the losses if you had been born in Venezuela instead of Philadelphia. How much would you have to be paid to move to either of those places now?
If you want to hold those who hire immigrants responsible for the externalities that they cause, shouldn't nativists also be taxed to compensate citizens and would-be immigrants alike for the losses that nativists impose on them?
