In 2015 the European Commission proposed a plan that called for for allocating asylum seekers across the EU, based on each country’s gross domestic product, unemployment rate, total population and the number of refugees already taken in by each country. The British government opposed the quotas and insisted that migrants who didn’t qualify for asylum should be sent back. “It’s important that people picked up in the Mediterranean can be taken back to Africa,” U.K. Home Secretary Theresa May told Sky News.

No , migrants should be allowed in if they are given work visas. The EU must be stricter on non contributing migrants
@9P7T76T11mos11MO
The eu needs to see where they can allocate immigrants to places that align with their religion. Either go back to your own country or go to a neighbouring one
@8W8VWDF4yrs4Y
We are not part of the EU so they cannot create a quota for us.
@9PNQ6TC11mos11MO
As long as it is relative to each country, eg. Some countries do have the space and need for more citizens, and they should not be allowed to reject refugees and other immigrants without adequate reason.
@9PNPMJQ11mos11MO
The UK and the EU should work with the rest of the world to STOP certain countries being at war, in poverty, being awful places
@9PM2DJM11mos11MO
We don't owe the world a thing. If the migrant is a skilled worker and they follow the law, then its fine by me
@9PLDFFS11mos11MO
The U.K. should impose its own quota we are one of the smallest countries and are already at capacity
