Screen people for criminal backgrounds if they intend to come and live in the UK, but refugees fleeing war shouldn’t need to be crossing in boats, we should open our arms to them.
Immigration should be dependent upon requirements. Asylum seekers should be allowed to work and pay taxes etc.
@9Q468XN9mos9MO
No but monitor refugees and give them an opportunity to work and become productive members of society. Limit benefits.
Yes, the immigration revolving around education. Students coming here on a visa being allowed to bring their families
@9NLBSTJ10mos10MO
Yes, immigration should be reduced to Net Zero until recent arrivals are better integrated into UK society, and the housing crisis has been managed
@9N3FPHR10mos10MO
Yes but only for the benefit of housing control. We currently cannot house people in the correct size homes & need stricter housing laws .
@9MQSJ4P11mos11MO
Yes, but screen for criminal backgrounds and deport immediately, make it easier for and prioritise skilled workers, migrants with family already residing in the UK and refugees, particularly young families to help manage the influx. Ensure immigrants have a plan and regularly review to ensure they become productive citizens.
Yes, legal immigration should be aligned with the infrastructure being available to support them eg housing
@9PH4CJ610mos10MO
I believe a points system should be implemented for what we need and accept all children and parents who flee war torn countries and help integrate these people into society
@9PLQRZY10mos10MO
It should be easier for refugees and harder for those with criminal backgrounds as long as there is a thorough look at the crime and whether it is applicable to the UK; in some countries it is a crime to drive a car as a woman, for example, but not a crime to beat your wife. As far as the UK is concerned the ‘crime’ here is irrelevant and the ‘upstanding citizen’ is a criminal.
@9JG9QB91yr1Y
No, just improve ways you can enter on conditions of registration to make them more legal and effective citizens
@9NXQJNL10mos10MO
no - the current policy is not sufficient however there should be more leeway to students, skilled workers, aspiring healthcare workers and apprentices
@9BR3QKY2yrs2Y
Harder for immigrants but easier for asylum seekers
@8SRWSL34yrs4Y
Utilise a points-based system
@8RFZGQT4yrs4Y
Open our borders to Immigration completely, Immigrants do not hurt our country, they help it.
@8SXT5YF4yrs4Y
Allow all immigration and administer it tightly so that services can be provided and businesses can grow.
