It is. But you can read my thread, where I paraphrase.

of the unskilled variety...from Africa, from Asia and yes, Central and South America. Thus the call for keeping immigration levels the same but increasing the skills mix probably means a reduction in total numbers over time 2/2

Yes, given the collapse in Latin American low-skilled immigration, the idea of restricting low-skilled immigration is much more about the future than the present.

Well as you know I'm less convinced than you that immigration from the southern hemisphere really is a thing of the past. Am I wrong to think this the current caravan from Honduras doesn't augur much larger flows in the future even if 4000 is not a big number in absolute terms.

Not from the southern hemisphere, just from Latin America. Mexico was the biggie and it's done. Central America is still sending some folks over, but will soon be done. And South America is richer with sub-replacement fertility so it'll never get started.

But Africa, that'll be big.
