I'm not entirely pro tax breaks for skilled immigrants but a good argument which I support is that a skilled immigrant cost absolutely nothing to be trained for the receiving country.

They didn't receive education, their parents didn't get childcare support, it didn't cost a single penny in taxes from the host country to get skilled labour who'll pay higher taxes than a lot of native population even after tax breaks.

A temporary tax break would probably just even out the equation in the end, if the immigrant stays for longer then the balance would tilt back to the host country benefitting more in total taxes received over a lifetime.
