Wow, there's so much wrong with this, where to begin? Let's correct it, first. What you really wanted was:
"If a person from another culture can come to your country, who doesn't speak the language or have any discernible skills, and can take your job, you probably have a job that is quite low on the totem pole. In which case, it's your own fault."
Ok...first, if you are worried about losing your job to someone from another culture, they can be Americans just as easily as anyone else. I think what you meant was that if you were worried about losing your job to someone from another country, not culture. Which is a wholly different fear.
Not being able to speak the main language of the country to which you are moving is a pretty big hurdle, though. Discernible skills is a much harder one to qualify, though. An immigrant may be very good at something, but isn't able to effectively communicate that. So they get put into a low-end job. Assuming that everyone working a lower end job does so because they have no greater worth is a big mistake.
I am also often amused that folks are so worried that they are going to 'take' someone's job. I've never had someone come and 'take' my job. I've never heard of someone having their job 'taken'. What folks REALLY mean about this is that the person in question will take
A job. A job that "belongs" to someone else, preferably an American. But a lot of the jobs that new immigrants 'take' are jobs that almost no Americans seem to be lining up to do in the first place, regardless of their financial situation. New immigrants tend to take jobs that need to be done anyhow, but that "you can't pay" most Americans to actually do.
So really, what's the problem again?
