Should the EU impose a quota of migrants per country?

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.

we are not in the eu

 @9PWDD5L answered…2yrs2Y

No , migrants should be allowed in if they are given work visas. The EU must be stricter on non contributing migrants

 @9P7T76Tanswered…2yrs2Y

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

 @8W8VWDFanswered…5yrs5Y

We are not part of the EU so they cannot create a quota for us.
