Your sentence was not added because the following already exists.
This doesn't quite make sense (because of the sequence: current forming before entry), and speaking of people as (simply) forming a current is odd. Since the idea of a current of people connects to other ideas, including continuity, I should suggest something like "Immigrants entering the country formed a steady current," even if nothing in the Japanese corresponds to "steady."
Translation of metaphorical speech is frequently problematical. A metaphor that is natural in one language may sound forced in another. Finding a natural-sounding semantic equivalent may be difficult; and if you end up choosing words whose equivalents don't appear in the original, you may doubt the faithfulness of your translation; but if you understand the original and if you say what you would naturally say to convey the same idea, then your translation is accurate. Of course there's plenty of room for quibbles around "same idea."
