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
@9P7T76T6mos6MO
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
@8W8VWDF3yrs3Y
We are not part of the EU so they cannot create a quota for us.
@9PWZQWZ6mos6MO
The EU should help countries that face high levels of immigration with a burden-sharing mechanism. However, this does not solve the immigration problems. Developed countries must provide aid to the countries where immigration originated from.
@9PSWM8H6mos6MO
Immigration should not be for economic reasons only for those escaping death. And a cap should be put on the numbers according to the size of the recipient country.
@9PPPFXD6mos6MO
Each country should be obligated to take some but world circumstances constantly change so this should be taken into consideration as should the needs of each country
@9PNQ6TC6mos6MO
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.
