Complete change, streamline, make it easier in emergency situations like war torn countries but ensure they are allowed to work and pay taxes and protected. Not get lost in the system

They should create more legal routes, screen people more thoroughly, but ultimately we rely on immigration when our birth rate is so low.
@9QBNRJD9mos9MO
No, make the process easier for skilled workers but also still consider children in danger that can be given a safe home.
@9NQ5QH810mos10MO
Yes. Check for criminal background. Regularly review immigrants to ensure they have become productive citizens. Do not allowed government benifits unless working over 5 years. Make it easier for skilled workers and spouses.

The processing system needs to be fit for purpose, currently the delays are exaggerated and people are living below the bread line as refugees/asylum seekers.
Even those knowingly entering unlawfully should be treated with respect, a sense of urgency and properly monitored to ensure the outcome of their applications are just and they do not become one of many that disappear into the country.
@9BN5CDW2yrs2Y
No, but should review current policies to ensure they work for both current and future immigrants and citizens
Yes but make allowances for refugees and skilled workers
@8YH2PCW3yrs3Y
Add a limit and a points based system, similar to the Australian system.
Make the process much easier for skilled and highly skilled workers, and demand cognitive ability tests
@98K68F62yrs2Y
people who are coming from a country which has been through a war should be allowed to come to the country.
