From some of the things I've been reading about immigration policies, the European nations have often made it a point of seeking out unskilled labour as immigrants rather than looking for the upper eschalons.
I was reading an article where the German immigration ministers and other European immigration policy wonks were looking at and admiring the Canadian immigration policy for it's ability to seek out and attract skilled labour (doctors, engineers, etc.).
Sadly the article failed to mention the problems these skilled people are having once they get here... Many arrive only to find they are not accredited to do their job. They end up driving taxis and working in restaurants. This is an issue in the current election that should heat up as the immigrant vote is strong.
