That's a pretty small percentage of total immigration surely? All things considered it's reasonable to assume too-high an immigration rate will put upwards pressure on housing prices. If that means we need temporary restrictions on where recent immigrants are allowed to purchase homes I don't see an issue - I certainly don't believe it would be fair for me to move to the US and immediately be able to buy a house wherever I like, helping price out those who have their whole lives rooted there already.
