Note
A plural that only the countable use of the noun can produce. Most of the time immigration behaves as a mass noun (immigration rose, immigration policy) and takes no plural at all. The plural appears when the movement is split into separate waves or episodes that can be counted and compared: successive immigrations, the immigrations of a century. When a sentence treats the movement as a whole, the singular is the natural choice.
