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
@9QQGWP39mos9MO
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
@9Q72V5Y9mos9MO
Yes immigration should be based on requirement for skill shortages and ability to pay and contribute to society via taxes and NI
@9NKDTYN10mos10MO
Yes there are too many immigrants and this is no longer England because of it , we get mistreated in our own country when they don’t even belong here we go without while they go with everything
@9MR533N10mos10MO
Process people quicker and give opportunities to those you should be allowed to live here to help the country
@9K2M69K1yr1Y
The policy strictness is irrelevant when our institutions that process immigrants are so underfunded.
@B22VDR8Liberal Democrat4mos4MO
The system doesn't work for legal migrants but heavily priorities refugees, but they receive short term support as well
@9NSGVD410mos10MO
Yes, but accept refugees if necessary who are fleeing from war, and do not allow any in with a criminal record.
@9N2QDCM10mos10MO
Support those leaving from dangerous places but something should be in place to ensure they do co tribute to the country after x amount of time.
@9LG823B12mos12MO
Immigration should be an easy process for genuine refugees and skilled workers without previous criminal convictions and illegal immigrants should not be accepted.
@9KWPMMK1yr1Y
No, it should invest into programmes that are working towards integration and safety of these people
@9JLWYZY1yr1Y
Tougher screening, trial periods. Skilled worker initiative, illegal entry/criminal activity punished with deportation and no chance of return.
@9GB9G7K1yr1Y
Yes we have too many immigrants, they should be strictly screened for criminal backgrounds and they should regularly be checked on to ensure they become productive citizens
@9G9PQ271yr1Y
It’s a minefield. They need to have a multiagency approach to account for impact on society and welfare of immigrants
@9G5MCLJ1yr1Y
Strictly screen the immigrants for criminal backgrounds, review the recent immigrants to ensure they have become productive citizens, and make the process easier for skilled workers.
@9Q4BT4R9mos9MO
Greater screening for criminal backgrounds but more welcoming to refugees and allow refugees to work sooner. Better administration and processing. More empathy. Greater co-operation with the EU and especially Ireland. Improve Anglo-Irish and UK-EU relations. Prioritise help for Palestinians.
@965QFLHConservative2yrs2Y
Yes but only allow Non UK spouses and Non UK children of British Citizens the automatic right of British Citizenship free of charge without citizenship tests needed.
@95GCPRV3yrs3Y
Do more to help refugees but make sure immigrants are productive citizens
@8ZF2F343yrs3Y
They should be welcoming to immigrants that offer a useful trade and educational experience. But be more vigilante with candidates possessing a criminal past or affiliation.
@8Y3DJKX3yrs3Y
Yes, but we should only allow Non UK spouses and Non UK children of British nationals the right of British citizenship with free of charge
No, but only allow Non UK Spouses and children of UK nationals to have the right to abide of British Citizenship without any income requirements as it’s discriminatory under the European Private life.
@8XKW4673yrs3Y
Only if a attack may have happened then we should
@8WDFYG73yrs3Y
We should follow Australia and make them have a certain amount of money and do a few years of retail work, or have a certain level of education.
@8W39HWH4yrs4Y
Don’t know enough to comment
@8T33WWL4yrs4Y
No as people need homes for safety but security shouldn't drop
@8SNHPZ54yrs4Y
No, but make it the policy fair and encourage more immigration to occur as wee need skilled workers.
Yes but make the process easier for skilled workers whilst also making it easier for refugees as they may have circumstances of suffering such as war, loss of country etc.
@9CDCZN9Liberal Democrat2yrs2Y
Make it easier for refugees, but restrict normal migration to those working in necessary sectors
@9C2HB992yrs2Y
No but criminal records should be scrutinised
@9BPXKSL2yrs2Y
Do it more like Australia
@9B4FRLQ2yrs2Y
To many at the moment, strictly screening for criminal back grown, if they do commit a crime clause they are sent back and their family
No, but get a grip on illegal immigrants.
@92LMPPZ3yrs3Y
The immigrants with a criminal record should be deported.
