No, but the system needs a total revamp. Additionally, the rights of migrants who have already settled in Britain should be secure.
@9N8T52N9mos9MO
Yes, for those for no "reason" to be in the UK, don't make it stricter for skilled workers or family of British born Citizens
@9GZYJSM1yr1Y
we are all human and bleed the same blood no one shouldn't be able to stop someone from living a decent life
@9GMTWNC1yr1Y
Yes in the fact that we should fight down on drug dealers terrorists and people who could be a threat to this nation but we must be a country of immigrants that try hard for us and are patriots
@9GML9MT1yr1Y
make the citenship test easier, but don't allow people to come in with a criminal background and any connections direct or indirect to terrorists groups
@9H8GTLZ1yr1Y
Neither a strict nor loose system work as currently envisioned. The best way to decrease illegal immigration is to have a robust, safe and easy to access legal system that will fairly review each applicant. The current system is difficult to access for most migrants forcing them to resort to illegal entry to the UK.
So the government should retool the immigration system as a whole to work better in our modern world.
@9GZYKWW1yr1Y
The current one is just fine, they honestly need to stop cracking down on ways around it though as most ways around migration would just make the immigrant an official working British citizen anyway. Examples (Collage visa, Marriage)
@9GLZWCQ1yr1Y
Yes, the UK should strongly restrict immigrants from all Islamic countries who do not share and hold compatible moral values in the 21st Century.
