Immigration increases the reserve army of labour and drives down wages so i figure it would be beneficial for them so why do some (conservative) capitalists oppose it?

It's actually a pretty brilliant grift. First, they get into office by getting voters riled up against immigrants. Then, they proceed to blame the other side and do nothing to fix the situation, which creates a large pool of undocumented immigrant labor that has almost no labor rights/protections. Jobs for non-immigrants go away and wages go down, which makes people angry and leads to the same people getting elected. In the end, the cycle continues and nothing fundamentally changes.
