" In absence of a secondary differentiation criteria,"
I was addressing the concern of the PP who mentioned immigration being dominated by a few populous countries in absence of country caps. Ideally the immigration system should be revamped bottom up to include a point based system which gives points to educational qualifications as well as familial ties.
The current political climate leaves that option out of the window. Hence at least removing country caps from employment based immigration (which is 14% of the total annual quota) is a reasonable common sense fix.
Honestly I don't think it is. However a lot of opponents to removing country caps are always concerned with this. Hence I was saying if anything country caps may be justified for family based GCs. There is no viable argument for them to remain for employment based GCs.
Does diversity mean you have to have proportional representation for everyone on earth? Or does diversity just mean having various different ethnicities or national origins within the country? Does constraining some very large groups actually skew the demographics anyways?
