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.
@9NZVRD610mos10MO
It's not about being stricter it's about reviewing and changing how the government make immigration policies
@9M22QVB11mos11MO
Yes but ease rules for skilled workers and those that have family already resident here who put up a 100k bail that is refundable after 5 years if the person has contributed meaningfully to UK taxes and has remained in the law.
@8RZTS3JLiberal Democrat4yrs4Y
No, accept anyone (subject to some assessment) who is either a refugee or provides needed skills or provides other forms of required labour.
@9J3P6YS1yr1Y
Do your best to make sure their lives in their home country is safer that will decrease immigrants in my opinion because no one really wants to leave their home or family unless they are desperate. Also illegal immigration can lead to trafficking of humans. This can be avoided if their homes were safe and they had a good quality of life there. Otherwise, let them in the uk.
No, Accept most people who have not got a criminal record but review their visas each year to ensure they're being a productive member of society

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
@954DJDW3yrs3Y
Yes but make the process easier for skilled workers and screen immigrants for criminal backgrounds and if we find any serious offences ban them from entering.
Yes but make allowances for refugees and skilled workers
Make the process much easier for skilled and highly skilled workers, and demand cognitive ability tests
@9BPYVF32yrs2Y
Yes and encourage our own citizens more to obtain skills in areas in which we are lacking
@9BBY7DD2yrs2Y
No but regularly review recent immigrants to ensure that they have become productive citizens
@98K68F62yrs2Y
people who are coming from a country which has been through a war should be allowed to come to the country.

Points based immigration system but run by Michael Gove so it is ranked from 9-1.
