What kind is that?
If you look at our labour markets, we're short on tradesmen and seasonal manual labour (e.g.., fruit pickers). So unless you think HK is awash with plumbers and strawberry pickers, I'm not sure what kind of immigration you think is going to benefit us from there.
I'm not saying we shouldn't allow them, I'm sayiing we have a strange set of priorities regarding who we allow to immigrate here if we use the sins of our fathers as a criteria (and incidentally that same logic would suggest we should allow much of Asia and Africa to immigrate here as well).
