The point being, that if a country is more selective on the type of immigrants it takes (ie. those with an education and a profession) they're less likely to be involved in risky behaviour. HHBH has just lumped all immigrants together here and hasn't broken them down into immigrant categories.

But of course for that to be relevant, there has to be an argument that immigrants are directly connected to risky behaviour, in some cases they are but in other cases definitely not.
