For illegals YES. For anyone arriving on having paid thier way with a passport and with the intension of working hard, paying their own way and commiting to not receive any state help for a minimum of 5 years of full employment. No. Let them come and be decent hard working people.
@9PFSHH310mos10MO
Yes, and regular review. However, if partners, reviewing the household. Also, more leniency on refugees on a temporary basis
@9P6S74N10mos10MO
Better process for refugees to deter illegal immigration trade and manage legal migration more rigorously.
@9L7SVGM1yr1Y
They should stop meddling and destabilising countries across the world first, which creates the problem in the first place.
@B2HBMQ72mos2MO
Yes, as there's too large of a quantity of immigrants coming over, although some contribute and are the reason for higher end jobs being filled. But too many take the mick and are causing problems with housing and population of areas, as well as trying to push their own rules into the country.
@B2FG6853mos3MO
No people should be allowed in a relocated if absolutely necessary and only allow people who haven’t committed unjustified crimes.
@9PMDY8C9mos9MO
Net migration requirements depend on the success/failure of many other policies. It cannot be reviewed in isolation
@99RFYPS2yrs2Y
The system is underfunded and flawed
@93RKDT43yrs3Y
Make a rule such that if housing stock increases so can immigration
@8WGCJPT3yrs3Y
Yes, ban all immigration and pursue a policy of repatriation.
@8R74V834yrs4Y
Every member of society should be given the ability to contribute using their skill set if said skills are in demand (i.e. a Syrian medical professional is exceptionally useful, they are a medical professional). But even those with no skills in demand can and should be required to take a job - any job - as soon as possible, so that they can begin contributing as soon as possible, and should be endowed with all benefits as previously stated in my answers prior to this one, treated in the same way as anybody else in their situation. Also, access to counselling, if necessary (being less damaged by trauma = capable of making greater contributions).
@997DSPW2yrs2Y
It should be easier for refugees to be financially supported until they find work and this should be monitored to make sure they get work.
@992RCW82yrs2Y
Improve the asylum process and perform annual visa applications.
