No, but the system needs a total revamp. Additionally, the rights of migrants who have already settled in Britain should be secure.

 @9HGPB7Xanswered…5mos5MO

No, but train citizens in jobs and make wages and benefits such that immigrant workers are not so necessary

 @8ZHZMNCanswered…2yrs2Y

No, make the current point based system more lenient especially for refugees

 @8ZHHKFYanswered…2yrs2Y

No and make the current point based system more lenient especially for refugees

 @9M744DCanswered…18hrs18H

We should have a quick and efficient immigration policy. We should accept people and get them working, or send them elsewhere if their claim fails, really promptly

 @9M5SRVFanswered…3 days3D

No - in fact they should make it easier for the reunification of families & not use it as a money making scheme to pay off our debts.

 @9M5RZFYanswered…3 days3D

Yes, to prioritise young working families or couples who intend to stay in the UK, with a limitation on the money they can send back home to keep spending within the UK.

 @9M5CYVHanswered…3 days3D

Allow people to come, learn, work and be productive members of the community would be a better way of helping support immigrants. Obviously anyone who has committed a criminal offence should be deported.

 @9M4LX37answered…4 days4D

The government should NOT be pushing away migration, it helps boost our economy and provides a diverse and cultural community to the nation. Most criminals are not immigrants, and we are being lied to by Rishi sunak. BRING IN THE IMMIGRANTS!

 @9M4BG87Labouranswered…4 days4D

No, UK without immigrants would have more of a declining population therefore helping in the long run, however there should be more to stop any immediate/violent immigrants.

 @9M47XPZanswered…4 days4D

We should move to a points based system - where those with skills we need most are prioritised and we can keep immigration to a sustainable level. We need immigration but there is a balance to ensure infrastructure can keep up

 @9M44LXYanswered…4 days4D

People should be allowed to travel freely but as long as they pay equal taxes and do not have a bad criminal record.

 @9M42LJZLiberal Democratanswered…4 days4D

Yes, with regular criminal background checks being processed and regular reviews to ensure citizens productive input to the economy

 @9M3N26Janswered…5 days5D

Too many people in such a small country will cause problems for the future ,not racist but can only accommodate what resources allow

 @9M3HRBHLabouranswered…5 days5D

Protect those who need protecting. We shouldn't shut our boarders, they come for protection but also protect us citizens here too.

 @9M3GGTManswered…5 days5D

yes we have too many immigrants, yes it could be a lot worse, yes i think we should have less but i don’t want people dying because they can’t get the help or a place to stay

 @9M3DCXSanswered…5 days5D

No. We need functional methods of processing immigrants and asylum claimants so we can quietly and accurately determine who should be allowed in and also provide safe methods of refusal. The "gangs" are created by bad policy.

 @9M39BFWanswered…5 days5D

No convicted criminals should be allowed into the country. Immigration brings in many benefits, but if you can’t behave in your homeland you should not be allowed into ours.

 @9M36X4Tanswered…5 days5D

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.

 @9M3675Ranswered…5 days5D

Yes they must prove their agenda to reside in the uk and and clear plan on how to provide for them selves when they arrive, review and steps to deport if they haven’t made any attempt to do so since being in the uk

 @9M34ZGFanswered…5 days5D

Yes, but only for the illegal immigrants, those who come to the UK through the proper channels should have a fair opportunity to live and work here, those that try to enter illegally should be sent back to the last country they came from

 @9M32MZ2answered…5 days5D

I think we should, only to have more control of inflow and be able to accept only as many people as our services can handle adequately per year (e.g. without too much sacrifice or changes to waiting times in the NHS, etc.). I think refugees and skilled workers should be prioritised in inflow, and these people should be supported and reviewed regularly to ensure that the transition in moving for them is smooth, so that they can achieve their potential in flourishing in this country, to become employed and work and be able to provide for their families

 @9M2Q5QNanswered…5 days5D

The home office needs funding to adequately deal fairly with people and allow those fleeing to work.

 @9M22QVBanswered…6 days6D

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.

 @9M22DYHanswered…6 days6D

I don't think it matters what the policy is. If people need to migrate legally or illegally due to war etc. they will

 @9LZWB74answered…6 days6D

No, re-open safer pathways for refugees, regularly review cases before and after asylum is granted and let them work sooner rather than later.

 @9LZBQMQanswered…6 days6D

Discourage illegal immigration by making it easier to apply for visas or asylum in embassies or consulates in cities that migrants commonly travel through while providing work and shelter for them.

 @9LY4RSFanswered…1wk1W

Providing a welcome to non economic refugees is a moral obligation. But yes Criminal checks are of course a good idea.

 @9LVFCWHanswered…2wks2W

Yes, make process easier for skilled works AND review immigrants to ensure they're productive citizens

 @9LVDDCSanswered…2wks2W

no, home as many immigrants as possible without a significant cost or disadvantage to british citizens

 @9LTW8W9answered…2wks2W

We need immigrants that are skilled, but they are being punished for the acts of illegals. Decent people should be assisted, not charged excessive sums to come to help us, but criminals blocked completely.

 @9LT7K8Janswered…2wks2W

Screen for criminal backgrounds on one hand but make the process easier for genuine refugees and skilled workers

 @9LSPHL4answered…2wks2W

remove the immigration process. You’re here, you’ve seen what it’s like and you still want to stay? That’s the spirit.

 @9LSDX2Ganswered…2wks2W

Yes, we need to review our immigration policy so immigrants are not exploited and our country can support its citizens and immigrants equally

 @9LS7VYJ answered…2wks2W

Yes and no because less immigrants will lower the economy which can increase interest rates and taxes whereas more immigrants raise the economy and more immigrants creates higher demand for products etc...

 @9LS5234answered…2wks2W

Yes. Strictly screen for criminals and regularly review whether they are positively having an effect. Those with skilled work requirements should be welcomed.

 @9LS3PNFanswered…2wks2W

I agree with both screening for criminal backgrounds and reviewing them regularly but to also reduce the amount looking to get in as the economy and housing for UK residents is greatly affected.

 @9LRY3VPanswered…2wks2W

Yes, improve processing speed and access for genuine asylum and immigration applications. Illegal entry automatic rejection but must have legal safe route accessible alternatives in place to argue that illegal entry is not necessary for immigrants with genuine intent..

 @9LRJ6HDanswered…2wks2W

We need skilled and unskilled people and our uk won’t do manual jobs so we need them. Vet them strictly and allow it if they pass

 @9LR27X6answered…2wks2W

We should allow anyone who is willing to contribute to our society, to move here. Faster processes for skilled workers in job shortages too. Immigration is needed!

 @9L7SVGManswered…1mo1MO

They should stop meddling and destabilising countries across the world first, which creates the problem in the first place.

 @9L7QCYHLabouranswered…1mo1MO

Allow legal migrants into the country, as they can benefit the economy, while also doing background checks on them

 @9L6RJDNanswered…1mo1MO

yes but on due o the fact that man people pass through safe countries just to come to the uk for its benefits which puts a strain on the economy, realistically other countries should accept more people and change a few of their rules

 @9L2JL9XConservativeanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, But Make It Easier For Skilled Workers And Monitor Them To See If They Are Being Productive Citizens.

 @9L2227Hanswered…2mos2MO

The government should encourage people already in UK to train up in areas where there are labour shortages

 @9KYXSZPanswered…2mos2MO

No but because the government doesn’t deal with illegal immigrants in the right way, they should provide them with jobs and programmes to improve their CV

 @9KTHZZZanswered…2mos2MO

We should have better programmes to integrate refugees into British society and we should target migration at industries that face labour shortages.

 @9KSXJKFPlaid Cymruanswered…2mos2MO

Immigration is fine. But emigration should be restricted - particularly Anglo Saxons moving from London to the promised land of the Welsh Riviera

 @9KSX9TGanswered…2mos2MO

I am in a mixed stance to where none of these really are how I feel, I feel there is more to do in stopping say those who intend to cause harm, but we shouldn't hurt the innocent because of it.

 @9KPNF6Sanswered…2mos2MO

No, the process should be easier for refugees but there should be stricter screening of violent criminals
