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.

Economic migration should be based on skills needs/age etc as it is in Australia/NZ. This will change over time so quotas are slightly irrelevant here. However, more needs to be done to prevent illegal migrants entering.

Impose a quota of migrants per country size. To be equal but not overtaking of indigenous people of origin to keep original culture of country. Immigrants must live the rules of thr indigenous beliefs if that country.
@9LFPJP42wks2W
Yes but it needs to consider the number of people per habitatable square km ready living in the country.
@9JHYPPS3mos3MO
No, the EU should abolish its supranational elements, reinstate border checks and 'EU' countries should only permit free movement by citizens of other 'EU' countries, subject to the approval of their own citizens.
@8SGJDBS3yrs3Y
Yes, but also be considerate and equal in the way of enforcing the quota and also the quota should be proportional to the amount a country can take without impacting the economy greatly. (In other words, take what they can sustain)
