No, but reform the immigration ministry into a more efficient governing body in terms of asylum claims and background checks.
@9QJSMW89mos9MO
Yes but make the process easier for skilled workers and those seeking asylum from e.g. war so they are not putting their life in danger
@9QJNWN29mos9MO
No, keep it as it is however find an alternative to Rwanda and find means to upskill your current immigrants alongside UK citizens so that they are encouraged to contribute to the society
@9Q8RCQ59mos9MO
accept ppl who are escaping from war or any other bad similar stuff like refugees and/or people who would like to move here with the intention of being a good civilian, don't accept violent people
@9Q5S3B99mos9MO
I think we should have safe routes for asylum seekers and allow them to work whilst their claim is assessed
@9PZNSM39mos9MO
If we can afford to look after them , let them come but not if we can't take proper care , they should all be verified on arrival also ,
No, but monitoring should be stricter. More regular reviews and immigrants judged on how much they are benefitting or being a drain on the country
@9PV6MQ69mos9MO
The system needs to be easier for refugees and skilled workers but all should be screened for criminal backgrounds
It should be less strict for refugees escaping war zones and we should not be dumping them on islands. We should be helping them.
@9P29WRN10mos10MO
make it easier to get skilled workers but regularly review recent immgrants to ensure they have become productive citizens
@9NJGC6310mos10MO
Yes, but make the process easier for skilled workers, while still fulfilling moral obligations to help refugees without burdening the country by taking too many.
Faster processing of asylum seekers, better training for home grown and penalties/ incentives for employers who employ and train young people
@9PLFBG59mos9MO
No, but the system needs a total revamp. Also and importantly, the rights of migrants who have already settled in Britain should be secure.
@9NWNN3610mos10MO
Yes but make the process easier for skiller workers, strictly screen for criminal backgrounds, regularly review immigrants to ensure they have become productive citizens and
@9PBQ78S10mos10MO
Yes, but make the department that deals with screening more efficient and faster, and to make it easier for skilled workers and refugees.
@9PMBCBN9mos9MO
Yes, immigrants should have to make greater means-tested contributions to social and public services they are accessing for the first 10 years.
@9NGJZRX10mos10MO
Yes, screen immigrants for criminal backgrounds and review to ensure immigrants are productive citizens
@9CGGDDH2yrs2Y
Remove status is not a productive resident
@96TCDTC2yrs2Y
No, but ensure there are not too many immigrants of the same ethnicity.
@8VWCHJK4yrs4Y
No, review citizenship approval process
Skilled immigrant workers and all immigrant workers have risked their lives to get into this country and do all of the work that regular British people either refuse to do or can’t do
@9668N8LConservative2yrs2Y
No and make the current point based immigration system more lenient
@9PGJ5Z69mos9MO
Yes, especially to illegal immigration, completely get rid of illegal immigration. For legal immigration, put a constant cap per month so that we can afford to keep the legal immigrants - legal immigrants are vital for British jobs and generates tax income.
