>No, immigration filled the jobs that would otherwise stay unfilled and thus moved permanently to other countries because of no possibility to fill them domestically. Lots of immigrants work service/retail jobs that aren't possible to fill overseas. >On the other side, lost jobs are lost because there's no more need for them. One robot caused one thousand of unemployed factory workers, and the need for this kind of jobs is not going to increase anymore. Yup. >Or are you trying to say that lowly skilled workers from closed factories would somehow successfully fill roles in finance or technology, but there are only immigrants staying in their way. What I'm saying is that a bigger labour pool increases competition for existing jobs and high rates of immigration makes this worse. Supply and demand.
