Your last sentence, I find to be, very immoral.
So the population of the original country are to be denied the services of the very people that, through paying taxes, provide the wherewithall to obtain the aforementioned skills, then find them fleeing the country to earn fast and big bucks in order to look after their immediate family.

That says volumes about their economy.

If you go further and accept that individuals must make the best of the opportunities for themselves and their families, it may even be turned on its head: to deny them the chance to use their skills where they would benefit financially - and where their skills are in demand - would itself be immoral.

Surely that would depend upon its effect on our country.

I would not say that immigration is immoral.

Illegal immigration is a crime and really should be punished as such and the guilty party deported.

It won't happen of course, and for all of the wrong reasons.
