Should the government enact a stricter immigration policy?

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

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

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

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.

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! 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)!

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!

Let anyone in who is beneficial to the country. Also, ship out anyone who does not contribute, including uk-born non-contributors

Yes, we need a more proactive approach to immigration to counter the issue low birth rate and increasing life spans

Immigration policies need to be reformed to; 1. Make it easier for skilled workers and, 2. Make the asylum process work productively

No, but accept Eu citizens with no criminal record and make the process easier for any graduate student with BC or MCS or PHD

Yes but the system needs to be made quicker and fairer. Taking into account the nature of the migrant's departure from their home country, their skill set, and their family status. As well as committing to reduce the rate of illegal migration by targeting people traffickers

Yes, but easier for skilled workers we need, and regular review of new and existing immigrants, any found not to be a productive citizen deported

We should look to cut down on illegal immigrants and keep away violent or high risk individuals but we shouldn’t stop, good hard working people from other countries coming here

No, fund the current system properly and hire more staff to process applications, with screening for those if they have criminal backgrounds.

We need immigration to support public services. There should be clear routes into this country for migrant workers, with clear expectation of working or they return to their country of origin. Asylum seekers who are here should be processed within a month and be expected to work and contribute to society if they remain longer than this.

The issue is the processing is too slow so there are so many people skilled people that have come here that want to work and can’t. Why are we denying people that right of a better life?

Immigration for study and family reunion should be liberalised and immigration for work purposes should be restricted.

We should process legitimate asylum claims quickly, ensuring the people claiming asylum have a route to employment in areas of shortage.Any legitimate migrant should also be granted entry if the specific job they plan to do is in need, or if they are able to support themselves financially u til able to find employees

Yes, there are many immigrants which doesn't help the housing problem, but if they are paying taxes and are legally in the country, they shouldn't be removed

Not stricter, but better and more efficient. The process needs to be made easier for skilled worker and refugees.

Accept people unless they are criminals. Make sure that anyone entering the country have the burdens of being a citizen such as taxes as well as the benefits they came here for

Yes, in line with encouraging skilled UK workers. This can only be done if we do not need to import skills

Yes and no, it should be easier for those seeking asylum and fleeing, but there should be background checks regarding criminal history (particularly violent). They should be given jobs however and training that is mandatory, so they can assimilate into the UK and contribute as well as help get their lives together. Life skills etc should also be taught

No, but make the process more efficient, overhaul the asylum system so that it actually works, and provide more support to help immigrants assimilate and integrate

They’re should be freedom of movement for legal migrants but with strict criminal background checks and there should be a quicker and more effective removal process of illegal immigrants

Combination of the above; easier for skilled workers where uk is lacking or needing, screen for criminal backgrounds, review integration and productivity, tighter restrictions on NHS and benefits provision

Yes, and we should offer immigrants a financial incentive to renounce their visas and citizenship and relocate elsewhere, including third generation immigrants

immigration policy based on need. both for country and migrant. Refugees need easier access, as do skilled workers

No make process easier for refugees even if economic refugees but regularly review to ensure they have become productive citizens with no entitlement to benefits beyond first 4 weeks during which they must find some form of employment or return home unless their life would be in danger. Thereafter only entitled to benefits after at least 5 years of residency and paying taxes and national insurance.

Yes, but only to improve the lives of both migrants and immigrants, ensuring that they come here with sufficient support

Make process easier for skilled workers and refugees / asylum seekers, but ensure infrastructure is improved to accommodate growth

Yes, but if they would like to move over they should have a certain amount of years before they then return to their county if their country are at war they have an opportunity to extend that visit

impose a tougher stance on low-skilled economic migrants, whilst making shelter for genuine refugees more available

Yes, review skilled worker visas and reduce number issued but also make more routes for asylum seekers and refugees

No, the government simply needs to help the Home Office deliver fast and fair decisions. Better funding and oversight is needed.

I wish I knew the right answer to this important question. Yes and No dependent on immigrants reasoning.

We should be prioritising immigrants that are skilled workers and the process should be easier for refugees.

People should be allowed to travel freely but as long as they pay equal taxes and do not have a bad criminal record.

Discourage illegal immigration by making it easier to apply for visas or asylum in embassies or consulates in cities that migrants commonly travel through while providing work and shelter for them.

Yes, But Make It Easier For Skilled Workers And Monitor Them To See If They Are Being Productive Citizens.

We should have better programmes to integrate refugees into British society and we should target migration at industries that face labour shortages.

Yes but no as we get a lot of immigrants so they should be given an interview and asked why they came to this country and if we can’t house them here we should help them move to another safe country

The processing of immigrants need to be faster so not stuck for years without rights in the UK or ability to leave.

Yes, but make it easier for refugees and set up processes to transfer refugees straight from neighbouring countries to the UK

However we need to create a system where there is a path to citizenship to immigrants to reduce illegal immigration as well as handling illegal immigrants in a tough but ethical manner.

No, but there should be targets that need to be met for a set amount of time in order to stay and claim additional benefits

make the process easier for refugees while taking care in not accepting people who propose a threat to the nation.

Tighter screening for criminal background should be done for legal migration and a quicker more effective removal process should be in place for illegal imagration. We should encourage legal freedom of movement in both directions between countries.

Slightly, yes, however don’t prioritise immigrants over citizens but with any spare money, use it for emergencies/ to make sure immigrants have complete necessities such as food and water, or try to send immigrants to other places

Make the process easier for refugees, ensure all other immigrants are able to support themselves when they move to our country

It should depend on the situation in the place on where they have come from. We should be more empathetic but also not naïve.

Block immigrants from doing certain jobs similar to the Japanese system. But allow them to do all others. But put a requirement the MUST work even if the can afford not to. The UK is not a tourist playground.

yes for illegal immigrants and those with criminal backgrounds and not showing any intentions to be good orderly citizens

Yes, but only tackle illegal immigration, not legal immigration for individuals who want to integrate.

We should stop people coming here illegally, but the proper channels should be easy to access for skilled workers

No, we should develop a better policy for accepting refugees but don't offer asylum to violent criminals. We should also make the process easier for skilled workers.

No, fix the system and allow safe legal routes for eligible applications

immigration needs to be managed but it;s complex. we need migrant workers in many sectors. these need identifying and the process made much simpler

The government should fund the training of UK citizens first before ramping down the issuing of Visas. Furthermore Student visas should not lead to citizenship

the current immigration policy is fine, but they should be given a free college course upon entering to give them the opportunity for better jobs

Yes, but make it easier for anyone that is wanting to come here and work. Lower the minimum earning and remove the sponsorship as it makes it more difficult for people who want to actually work and pay their way.

No, just make the current one functional

Easier process needed for refugees. Stricter measures on immigration such as screening immigrants for criminal backgrounds. Easier process for skilled workers. Review immigrants to ensure they have become productive citizens.

I don't understand the immigration policy

Yes, But make the process easy for refugees

No more borders.

No, we need to have an open border policy for anyone regardless of their criminal background.

Accept skilled workers and make the process for asylum seekers or refugees easier

Yes, but only on security regulation and bag checks

There should be a focus on clearing the asylum-seeker backlog, less rhetoric against immigrants and easier access for refugees, followed by a sensible policy on immigration - both skilled and unskilled.

I don't have enough info to have an opinion

Immigrant families should be able to seek temporary asylum easily. If entering from dangerous counties individuals should have a strick screening process.

Accept those who are desperate (women with babies & the elderly). But do thorough checks of background

No, AND make the process easier for skilled workers

No, but ensure immigrants are coming over for a better life not to abuse welfare systems and for criminal reasons

No, but people who have criminal backgrounds should be held under laws in this country.

Enforce current policy

Yes, but only to tackle illegal immigration

No but screeing should be more thorough.

Yes, make the process easier for anyone who can work a job where there is a shortage of employees. But harder in areas where there is not a skills shortage.

No in cases where immigrants work aswell, although more sensible restrictions and integration strategies should be put in place. Checks should also be done.

Immigrants should be allowed here however their should be strict policies on checking them for the items they posses

I so not believe in borders

No, but the current policy needs to be overhauled.

We should focus on improving the situations that force people to come here in the first place.

No, but make it easier for spouses.

Yes but give people support if they need it (finding jobs, housing etc)

No, but exclude those with violent criminal backgrounds and accept those seeking asylum.

Yes, strict security screening checks & skill checks need to be done & regularly review recent immigrants to ensure they have become productive citizens until satisfied

Population is the issue not immigration

In many cases, immigrants are faced with negative reactions from a nation. This leads to segregated communities that are a breeding ground for extremism. More money should be invested in integration programmes.

No, government shouldn't be restricting immigration.

Make the process easier for refugees and asylum seekers who are at risk of death, injury, illness or unlawful incarceration if they do not enter the country and allow in skilled workers from safe countries all year round but ensure thorough background checks.

Yes if they have fled for a good reason e.g war house destroyed being bullied

Depends on the ethics competence and contribution to society of the individual

No, make the system beneficial for people applying and the country
