In 2015 the European Commission proposed a plan that called for for allocating asylum seekers across the EU, based on each country’s gross domestic product, unemployment rate, total population and the number of refugees already taken in by each country. The British government opposed the quotas and insisted that migrants who didn’t qualify for asylum should be sent back. “It’s important that people picked up in the Mediterranean can be taken back to Africa,” U.K. Home Secretary Theresa May told Sky News.

Economic migration should be based on skills needs/age etc as it is in Australia/NZ. This will change over time so quotas are slightly irrelevant here. However, more needs to be done to prevent illegal migrants entering.
@9LKVTYD1wk1W
Impose a quota of migrants per country size. To be equal but not overtaking of indigenous people of origin to keep original culture of country. Immigrants must live the rules of thr indigenous beliefs if that country.
@9LFPJP42wks2W
Yes but it needs to consider the number of people per habitatable square km ready living in the country.
@9JHYPPS3mos3MO
No, the EU should abolish its supranational elements, reinstate border checks and 'EU' countries should only permit free movement by citizens of other 'EU' countries, subject to the approval of their own citizens.
Yes, but also be considerate and equal in the way of enforcing the quota and also the quota should be proportional to the amount a country can take without impacting the economy greatly. (In other words, take what they can sustain)
Yes, but the migrants should have be incentivised to get employment.
@8SG4PBLPlaid Cymru3yrs3Y
Yes, until we decide to enact responsible foreign policy we should have to absorb peoples displaced by our actions.
@realfrankrose3yrs3Y
Yes, proportional to their population
@8S9CZGM3yrs3Y
That's for them to decide
@8S88LXR3yrs3Y
@8S7CTKB3yrs3Y
Yes, but prioritise high-skilled workers.
Satistiscs,data,politics and religion
@8S42P7J3yrs3Y
Each country should set it's own quota
@8S2GKKC3yrs3Y
That depends whether the quota is for a minimum or maximum number, as those are two very different scenarios.
@8RZ4GL73yrs3Y
It is up to each nation state
Yes, more migrants should be allowed in more countries
@8RXRRX93yrs3Y
@8RW5TNZ3yrs3Y
Migrants should have to be qualified for asylum in order to be taken in however, countries should be trying to aim to take in a certain amount of asylum seekers.
@8RVJ8SV3yrs3Y
Yes, but quotas should be limited to Asylum Seekers only and publicity given to individual cases to limit Asylum Seekers being sent back to the untenable situations that they are fleeing.
@8RSWGYD3yrs3Y
Yes, but Britain should still be out of the EU anyway.
@8RPPKT63yrs3Y
Thankfully the eu is not in control of the UK any more and it is not for me to say what the eu does regarding their member countries
@8RPFQDW3yrs3Y
That is for the EU to decide.
@8RGZWNR3yrs3Y
@8RDF4243yrs3Y
Yes a minimum quota that incurs financial penalty if not met
@9JDNGYD3mos3MO
I think a quota should be enacted in accordance with each country's government and what specific quota THEY set.
@9HRL8FFLiberal Democrat4mos4MO
It entirely depends on what that quota is, if it's to ensure that the UK is fairly accepting immigrants yes, if it's to decrease immigration, no.
@9GZW49CConservative5mos5MO
No, the eu is violating the sovereignty of European peoples. It’s is trying to commit national and racial suicide. It’s ridiculous putting others peoples and races ahead of your own
@9G5MCLJ7mos7MO
Yes, but quota must be reasonable and countries that take more will be offered rewards and subsidies.
@9G2F4Q57mos7MO
Only if it a fair quota, a lot of places are over populated and don't have the infrastructure to support their own citizens such as UK
@9FPVMV97mos7MO
depends on the country that they come from
@9FMG6537mos7MO
I believe that migrants have the right to any country they choose to feel safe, however if the country cannot afford economically they can decide when they believe in a limit.
@9FJDTR37mos7MO
This should be up to individual countries
@9FJ452P7mos7MO
Not for the UK. None of their business
@9FDZHZN7mos7MO
The EU has too much power, it is supposed to be democratic.
@9F3SPQ38mos8MO
No, but we should allow in as many migrants as feasible.
@9DMY6KF8mos8MO
It's up to what the country does as each countries has different laws of quotas.
@9DJSMVN8mos8MO
Yes but asylum seekers should be different
@9D9DL479mos9MO
This should be based by person. Skilled workers and those who already know English should be prioritised, people who have a willingness to learn and be successful should be given a lot of support
@9D8DQBP9mos9MO
No, it should be up to each individual country
@9D7RG2W9mos9MO
@9D7GRBK9mos9MO
Yes, but extend to all members of the Council of Europe
@9D4Z9KC9mos9MO
The EU should have no say in our immigration
@9D3WWPD9mos9MO
No, that decision should be a decision made by the countries (and people) themselves, even in spite of the EU status they may have
@9D2TB3SConservative9mos9MO
UK should impose own quota.
@9D2G5NJ9mos9MO
Yes the EU should regulate migrants coming into Europe
@9CP2FCQ10mos10MO
Depending on circumstances, yes, and there should be proper checks done, alongside more help and resources given out, otherwise, neutral on this question. I'm for immigrants.
@9CCF8CV11mos11MO
@9CBCXYJ11mos11MO
Yes, for countries that can handle more immigration and will treat them right
