Should the government enact a stricter immigration policy?

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

I believe people in need to flee their country should be able to stay here until their own country is stable.

No, but there should be strict checks for criminal backgrounds, and government should invest to improve processing and stop using expensive hotels while applications are processed

Allow local councils to say when they have a need for specified skillsets for their area which they can accommodate.

One policy for the whole of the UK doesn't work. Immigrants should be allowed to apply for jobs to match the differing employment needs of the regions of the UK.

Uk clearly has a certain capacity, allow anyone seeking refuge but put them through a training program and then give them a choice to stay and contribute or move to a neighbouring developed country not Africa or rawanda..

Yes but there needs to be better systems in place to deal with the amount of asylum seekers and refugees to ensure their safety and better ways of protecting these people

Immigration does need to be managed however as a percentage of immigrants how many are actually illegal. We do need to process people quicker

We should only expect people who have the necessary skills we need of people fleeing for there life’s are in a different category

I think asylum and immigration should be handled separately, we should welcome skilled workers and we should offer asylum to those in need but we must make sure that we don’t over populate and that they would like to help in our society where possible

we should line up all illegals that arrive on our shores, line them up against the dover cliffs and SHOOT THEM ALL

Immigration is a complicated issue which doesn't lend itself to analysis purely on a number in and out basis. Policy doesn't need to be stricter necessarily, but it needs to be better thought out in terms of the impact it has on services etc.

They should revoke the citizenship of all the Tories that support the Rwanda policy/have wasted hundreds of millions and send them to Rwanda.

Immigration should be assessed on the need of the respective sectors that require workforce increases and the availability of the country to accommodate.

remove the immigration process. You’re here, you’ve seen what it’s like and you still want to stay? That’s the spirit.

The whole process needs overhauled to suit the state of the world as it. A case by case basis needs to happen

European countries should be allowed on work, Refugees should be allowed if children & women, or family’s

Refugees welcome but immigrants come to the UK from none war countries don’t get benefits for at less two years.

Yes but increase the staff and resourcing in this area, especially for refugees. Add more safe routes for refugees but make recourse to public funds impossible for non-refugees until they become citizens.

Yes, but process should be improved, simplified and sped up for all, including refugees and skilled workers

No, people should be encouraged to come to work, but it should be harder to gain citizenship and/or access benefits

Immigration policy has become too politicized and the focus needs to be on funding processing capacity with an emphasis on refugee claims and skilled workers before any policy reforms can be considered.

Yes, until human rights issues can be resolved and the process can be streamlined to reduce wait times and cost.

No change. Make it easier for skilled workers, families seeking education. Make sure they are being productive.

Yes It needs to be more than just work capability , culture and social norms need to be addressed too the numbers are less important save for flow control.

Yes and no. System must be more effective, however, it is wrong to deport migrants fleeing from war-torn countries.

Yes, immigrants should only be able to come to the country legally and through the appropriate channels and if they have something to benefit the country

Yes but make the system easier for political refugees

Stricter immigration laws to lower down mass immigration, prevent illegal immigrants coming into the border but allow legal immigrants to come like skilled workers and people who posses visas and other immigration paperwork and also for them to come in small numbers.

no they should help these people by making an organization to help these people from dangerous countries or war zones. these people start a new life in our country or another country with the government of said countries permission.

but if the individual has a criminal background then no but if they have a family or a willing to change and disown the Dangerous their criminal background then yes they are allowed to come in but they will have to go and get rehabilitated and maybe start a new career and left they have the skills a city or town needs

after that you can start a whole new life...

Stricter for non-EU, almost none within EU

Whatever SNP say

No but preference towards skilled workers

Let in Those who are fleeing war stricken countries or are coming to better their lives

If we are going to ban good and useful new citizens from entering then we should be allowed to export useless unhelpful ones

No, the issue is uncontrolled illegal immigration

Allow unskilled workers for occupations that are not being filled by UK Citizens

No, but the immigrants need to be spread out across the UK more, to Scotland for example as London is crowded.

Balanced approach

As long as they are sure immigrants will have a better life here and work

No accept as many people as possible

A different policy which is actually adhered to would help a lot

atm you could say the immigration policy is strict, however ill argue that the process should've made simpler but oversight is essential to stop the very few bad people who want to cause trouble

No but follow up on recent immigrants to see what they did and acknowledge and celebrate those making a positive contribution to society.

Fair system for all

No, accept anyone who’s not a violent criminal and make sure no immergrants exploit the benefit system

Yes, but make the process easier for those who pose no threat to the country.

No, but make the process easier for skilled workers and strictly screen imigrants for criminal backgrounds.

Yes for people with criminal records, but it should be easier for refugees and those in genuine need.

No, but the government should ensure that the areas of high migration are given support to make sure local services aren’t overwhelmed

Ensure immigrants are properly vetted but don’t make it harder for people to apply.

No. Why are these such backwards questions?

Yes, but not for those living with their spouses of UK citizenship.

No, but all immigrants should face strict screening.

Yes when the country is in a economic crisis and cant support any more people

Neutral and based on circumstances, but provide more support and safeguarding

Make it easier for refugees whilst screening out criminals and also increase and encourage skilled workers particularly in areas where they can help country and economy.

Open boarders

Bring in skilled immigrants but stop criminals and unskilled immigrants

Stricter screen for criminal background and make the process easier for skilled workers

The immigration policy for refugees is cruel and insufferable at the moment. This doesn't mean that we should allow all immigrants and refugees but bulking foreigners off to Rawanda is not the way to go. Immigrants, including skilled workers, should be allowed into the country if they have no violent criminal background and can contribute to the country. The immigration process needs to be reviewed.

If an immigrant has a violent criminal record the government should be allowed to refuse them

I don't necessarily know if we need more boarder control, it certainly seems that in some areas their is less effort than required but overall. So long as we can effectively control immigration than we can loosen or tighten the rules as required.

No, but we should make it easier for skilled workers

No, accept everyone. Migration is a right

Immigration is good when the immigrants culture and ethics align with our British expectations, immigration should factor in not only a person's skill set but their ease of integration into the country. There are big issues with segregated communities within larger British cities that have created bigger social problems.

I honestly couldn't care less

Yes, but make process easier for skilled workers and have better screening

No, this country needs people but the immigration policy needs huge improvement with efficient screening out of individuals with serious criminal records within the previous 10 years.

Clearer not stricter

Make sure that migrants learn english and work whilst they are here

Yes, basic English language requirements and more appropriate cultural education on rights and discrimination should be mandatory

Open Borders is the only acceptable Immigration stance

No , but things could be better with how imigration is dealt with

Hang them by the balls
