Should the government enact a stricter immigration policy?

Yes, for those for no "reason" to be in the UK, don't make it stricter for skilled workers or family of British born Citizens

we are all human and bleed the same blood no one shouldn't be able to stop someone from living a decent life

Yes in the fact that we should fight down on drug dealers terrorists and people who could be a threat to this nation but we must be a country of immigrants that try hard for us and are patriots

make the citenship test easier, but don't allow people to come in with a criminal background and any connections direct or indirect to terrorists groups

Neither a strict nor loose system work as currently envisioned. The best way to decrease illegal immigration is to have a robust, safe and easy to access legal system that will fairly review each applicant. The current system is difficult to access for most migrants forcing them to resort to illegal entry to the UK.

So the government should retool the immigration system as a whole to work better in our modern world.

The current one is just fine, they honestly need to stop cracking down on ways around it though as most ways around migration would just make the immigrant an official working British citizen anyway. Examples (Collage visa, Marriage)

Yes, the UK should strongly restrict immigrants from all Islamic countries who do not share and hold compatible moral values in the 21st Century.

Make it easier for skilled workers and refugees fleeing violence, but strictly screen for criminality

Yes, make the process easier for honest, hardworking people, strict screening of any criminal background and regularly review recent migrants.

Yes, better screening for criminals, easier application for sponsored / skilled workers. But better support for refugees

Current policies need reform to remove instant access to public services and public housing. Crack down on companies that drive down wages through cheaper foreign labour. Drive to up skill UK citizens to fill positions before looking outside of our boarders. Only allow access to public services to migrants if they work jobs that need filling, while ensuring they get a fair wage, possibly leading to UK citizenship.

No, but train citizens in jobs and make wages and benefits such that immigrant workers are not so necessary

No and make the current point based system more lenient especially for refugees

No, make the current point based system more lenient especially for refugees

Yes, I think so because the country is letting in too many people at the same time and we can’t handle it.

yes, if there is no where for them to live in this country, currently a housing crisis not ideal increasing the number of people who need a house!

yes, if there is no where for them to live, currently a housing crisis not ideal increasing the number of people who need a house!

Legal immigration allowed if they offer valuable skills but they must be in the country for 5 years before receiving benefits and being allowed to vote, illegal immigrants must learn the language get a job and a place of residence and can vote and claim benefits after 10 years; immigrants that commit serious crimes like rape or murder before the end of the 5 or 10 year period should be deported

I believe that immigration is important for our country but must be controlled as letting in too many people can damage the nation. But allow people to enter if they make a promise to contribute and help l. They also deserve free education like all do etc

We should allow immigrants into the country, yet not those with serious criminal records and we shouldn't accept all immigrants as this will cause the UK to become over populated, leading to perhaps depression.

No, but reform the administration and bureaucracy to make sure individuals can be accounted for or sustained

Yes we currently are overcrowded, but we should make the process easier for skilled workers, but we should strictly screen all immigrants for any criminal backgrounds, and regularly review them to ensure they have become productive citizens.

No, but it should expand the Border Force, open new holding facilities and process more applications

More funding to immigration services better background screening reduced numbers of immigration but still have an intake of asylum seekers and high skilled workers that deserve a home

The process should be easier for refugees and screening immigrants should be a process of looking for violent pasts or criminal records. That’s it.

No, the current policy is sufficient but more money should be invested in the Immigration processing bureaucracy so that the migrant backlog can be cleared

Yes, until the government can ensure the current populations ability to be healthy happy and expand on its own

Make it easier for refugees willing to work to work in areas which have labour shortages. But impose limits on industries, where it is already saturated and full. Deport immigrants who commit violent crimes or serious sexual abuse.

Completely close the border no more in and deport all migrates currently in the Migrates hotels around the UK. The only way to get into the country is if you will add actual value to the workforce and are a highly skilled worker, health care profess or any emergency services

Yes, make the process easier for skilled worker, strictly screen immigrants for criminal backgrounds and if they are moving not out of necessity, they need to have a job set up for them

Great Britain is no longer great or Britain, it's full of immigrants that abuse the NHS, commit vile crimes and have no living standards. Make Great Britain great, again.

Have all current illegal immigrants shipped back to their own countries and if they refuse give them the death penalty

We should only allow immigrants if they are either seeking asylum from another country, or if they are skilled workers that will contribute heavily to our country.

I think maybe we might have too many immigrants coming into the country and we need to cap it and get to basics and be careful about who is let into the country. Just common sense to not let too many people into the country. It doesn’t mean I’m a fascist or right wing party extremist if I want stricter immigration rules to monitor borders in a better way.

No, create more safe and legal routes that allow for thorough screening in order to identify potential dangerous individuals

Neither, Make It Easier To Become A Legal Migrant And Very Strictly Vet Them. Make It Near Impossible To Enter Illegally.

No, increase legal migration and use work camps to process illegal while only deporting violent criminals.

Take in as little illegal immigrants as possible or stop taking them in all together. Accept skilled legal immigrants who will contribute positively to the country, but still place a limit on all immigration to make sure economic needs of people already living in the UK are met and to maintain british culture.

Yes, as there's too large of a quantity of immigrants coming over, although some contribute and are the reason for higher end jobs being filled. But too many take the mick and are causing problems with housing and population of areas, as well as trying to push their own rules into the country.

Yes, but once we have enough houses and services to keep it well in control return, to the current system

No people should be allowed in a relocated if absolutely necessary and only allow people who haven’t committed unjustified crimes.

make it easier for refugees but make sure to do background checks on them and make sure they are safely entering the country.

We should look at the economical situation based on the amount of migrants and cap the amount of migrants allowed to enter the country on a yearly basis.

Yes but only for illegal immigrants. Still allow for it to be easier for asylum seekers and skilled workers.

There should be an appropriate system that ensures people come who want to work, criminals shouldn't be let in.

Yes, make sure immigrants have become productive citizens and that the process becomes easier for refugees

No. It is the rich who are the problem. Not the immigrants. It's all anti immigrant propaganda by the rich.

Immigrants aren't the enemy. The rich are. Immigrants especially one from poor backgrounds are used by the rich to divide the working class.

I mean its deep. Were probably overpopulated but good people from less fortunate places deserve a chance.

No, the legal way for immigrants to become citizens needs to become cheaper and quicker as this will help reduce the number of immigrants from using visas to skip this process resulting in them becoming illegal after the visa expires

Yes, but we don't want a bunch of innocent families turned away so we should turn back single or young Muslim men but not families

Yes, screen immigrants for a criminal background and have harsh deportation laws but make the process easier for regugees

No, make the process easier for refugees and make it so that anyone can be accepted into a country. Immigration is actually good for a country as it decreases crime rates and increase economic revenue.

The system doesn't work for legal migrants but heavily priorities refugees, but they receive short term support as well

In the refugees have snook into the country and have a criminal background then they shouldn’t have a right to live here and put up citizens in danger!

Yes but make the process easier for refugees and asylum seekers and make it easier to gain citizenship. However crack down on illegal immigrants.

Only those from the EU and North America allowed.. and former colonies until all are intergrated into a superstate

Yes, reject all illegal entrants, drastically reduce the number of work visas, only give work visas for jobs paying more than the average salary, visas need to be applied for from outside the country, all work visas should last a maximum of 12 months at a time, after the 12 months they must be renewed from outside the country

Yes, but not for number reduction or increase. More thorough background checks, psychological evaluation and polygraph testing (as support not ultimate decision making). Remove economic migrants and use their space for genuine refugees. Men with underage wives should be removed immediately as they are paedophiles.

No, the existing inefficiencies in the system should be resolved and refugees should be let in for humanitarian reasons

Yes, completely get rid of illegal immigration and small boats crossings, only allow legal immigration for work, study purposes etc.

When an immigrant has been accepted for asylum, they should be allowed to work and pay taxes, and prove themselves whilst their application is being processed.

The UK should start being actually responsible and reasonable about their own immigration standards, laws and practices. That starts with taking care of it themselves.

Something has to be done about people arriving in boats, we can't just keep putting them up in hotels.

Yes, posively discriminating in favour of those in crucially needed sectors of work, aswell as for humanitarian purposes those without documentation will be deported to the last place travelled through.

I think they should help them find homes maybe not in our country if there is to many people but I think there should be a system so that they can have homes in other countries that are safe

Allow any one who has not been convicted of a criminal offence in but for those who are able to make sure they are paying tax and working.

Depends. Make it easier for people genuinely in need of refuge in the UK and punish those who seek to manipulate and take advantage of the system.

We should generally have a policy that permeant immigrants who arrive in the UK for work should be projected to provide a net lifetime benefit to the country, while also stricter rules should be introduced to deliniate temporary and permanent migrants with temporary routes being the norm for low skilled migrants and those who take university courses of 1 year and less while other migrants have a route to permentant residence and citizenship. Non-Citizens should be prohibited from bringing dependants. However, migration numbers and targets are counterproductive on their own and a wider strateg…  Read morey should be considered, with a particular focus on enticing the wealthy to migrate to and stay in the UK. No one who has had any history of violent crime or a custodial sentence should be allowed to migrate, but a small number of minor infractions should be ignored.

Make it easier for students, workers and spouses who are granted immigration legally and have to pay, but make it far stricter and have less incentives for refugees.

Immigrants seeking refuge from a horrific country should be allowed in, anyone coming over for their own benefit or to send money back to their country shouldn’t be allowed in.

Need to make it safer for immigrants to cross, and turn away violent criminals so the others have a chance

Allow entry to asylum seekers who desperately need a safe area to live, and also allow entry to skilled workers who could help improve the workforce.

No, the government should enact a more coherent immigration policy, starting with a clear articulation of whom we are/aren’t willing to take, why/why not, and in what numbers where relevant

Yes, but make it open for skilled workers and turn away people who say they are "17" but they look like their in their 20s and 30s as a bypass

No, in fact they should make it easier for people to immigrate to the uk and else for British citizens to emigrate and a brilliant solution would be bring back EU Freedom of Movement

Yes, and the government should sign a treaty with itself, or a neighbouring country, to legally limit immigration to less than 5% per year, immigrants registered or not.

Yes but manage how many come in as the UK may not be able to support everyone who enters the country

Yes, immigrants should be required to become productive citizens, and emphasis should be put on European immigrants.

Numbers are less important than sensible policies about who we encourage to immigrate and whether that meet the needs of society

The excuse is to "flee war" but most on the boats are men. They should be the ones staying back to fight in the war and woman and children should be the ones on the boats but instead they're left behind, most of the time.

Yes, but allow immigrants to come if they do not have a criminal record. Immigrants help fill jobs that people don't want.

Yes, but make the process easier for skilled workers and international students, and only allow unskilled workers on a temporary basis

We are currently facing an immigration crisis, but we should allow foreign skilled workers who can fill the gaps in our workforce

Yes! Send illegal refugees to a National Refugee Centre (NRC), where they will be taught the English language and British laws! They will then be processed and, if found to be dangerous, they will be removed from the UK immediately! The rest of their family will then get the option of whether or not to stay without their relative or go with them (if they are not also found to be dangerous)!

No, re-legislate how border force in the country works to make it easier for people to seek asylum while dealing with the issue externally

Invest in a modernised processing system to help asylum seekers and refugees and implement intergration programs to help them hit the ground running with work and accommodation.

Allow skilled workers in, check they aren't criminals, regularly review them, deport them if they commit crimes.

Introduce a three-tick rule! In the first six-months, all adult refugees who are not violent criminals (they will be sent home) will have a sheet of paper with three-ticks! Every time they commit a crime, a box is ticked! Once it gets to three-ticks, they are sent home!

Remove asylum (but have better Foreign Office involvement in other countries) and force employers to apply for license/visa for each migrant employee

Immigration policy needn’t be “stricter” but should welcome in refugees and valuable workers, and ensure their integration and basic education.

Spouse visa for a British citizen married with a non-British citizen should be made easier to obtain.

Yes, but make it easier for skilled workers (as well as check in that they have become productive citizens) and check their criminal background previously.

Should be monitored to make sure people don't abuse the system but ensuring a safe place for refugees coming directly from dangerous countries is important.

The government should have an immigration policy that allows asylum for refugees and immigration threat allows economic growth

Yes, but only to ensure the country is not overcrowded and people are treated respectfully and will live a good life once here.

No, but reform the immigration ministry into a more efficient governing body in terms of asylum claims and background checks.

I think there should be a better system for immigration such as the one in Australia but I don’t believe in stopping immigrants moving over altogether

It isn’t a matter of strictness. It’s about having a policy that is practical for migrants and existing citizens.
