No, accept anyone but if they can work but are only living off benefits without trying to find a job then they should not be allowed to stay as they are only being a burden to the economy.
@9P9HPW510mos10MO
Yes, but make the process easier for skilled workers, screen immigrants for criminal backgrounds and regularly review recent immigrants to ensure they have become productive citizens
The govt needs to process properly and quickly the immigrants that are already here and determine who are legal and those who are illegal. We need immigrants in this country and would be poorer without them.
@9MWLGT210mos10MO
No, but greater emphasis should be placed on training and skills to reduce the need for foreign workers
@9M36X4T11mos11MO
Immigrants should be allowed to enter, so long as they are not deemed a possible danger and become a productive member of society if possible/able to.
Allow legal migrants into the country, as they can benefit the economy, while also doing background checks on them
@92TVXCYConservative3yrs3Y
No and make the current point based system especially for refugees
@8YGYR3G3yrs3Y
yes, strictly screen immigrants for criminal backgrounds and a psychological but make the process easier for refugees and skilled workers
@8YGGHN73yrs3Y
Yes, make all immigrants join trade unions so they cannot undercut pay and conditions. Public services need improvement, funding and time to recover to be able to deal with population growth.
@8QFGDMG4yrs4Y
Yes, and make it law to deport anyone with wrong intentions who comes here. Run strict background checks and screening for any dangerous signs that they're not innocent people. If they fail, they need to be deported.
