I'm not saying immigration fixes unemployment. I'm saying that over the long run, it doesn't make it worse. When I say this and throughout my comment I mean immigration where newcomers have the same labour rights as the existing populatiom. I'm talking about PR immigration.

TFW immigration is a whole other matter which is obvious vehicle for cheap labour, which cannot create jobs, which increases PR/citizen unemployment, especially among youth because youth often works retail and that's a major use of TFWs. That's before we even consider the abuse TFWs get from their employers. I think the TFW program did most of the damage you speak of, along with the diploma mill foreign student program, which essentially functions as another TFW program. Temporary immigration for work should be shutdown yesterday. Any immigration for work must come with the same labour rights and that must include at least delayed PR. That guarantees fuckers can't pay them less.
