The idea that the government can stipulate which areas immigrants could live sounds like a good idea, but surely they would want to ship them off to less populated areas which usually means less work, therefore that would anger locals, that the immigrants are nicking their jobs.
Not necessarily, if the system was based on a points system and profession being one of the biggest criteria. When my friend emmigrated to Australia they were restricted to live in one of 3 areas where their professions were in demand for a certain period of time.
It could help with overpopulating any one area and saturating all resources there.
