Yes, the UK should strongly restrict immigrants from all Islamic countries who do not share and hold compatible moral values in the 21st Century.

 @9JWRHL9answered…2yrs2Y

No, but the system needs a total revamp. Additionally, the rights of migrants who have already settled in Britain should be secure.

 @9H8GTLZanswered…3yrs3Y

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.

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

 @9P83DWSanswered…2yrs2Y

Current policies need reform to remove instant access to public services and public housing. Crack down on companies that drive down wages through cheaper foreign labour. Drive to up skill UK citizens to fill positions before looking outside of our boarders. Only allow access to public services to migrants if they work jobs that need filling, while ensuring they get a fair wage, possibly leading to UK citizenship.

Yes, make the process easier for honest, hardworking people, strict screening of any criminal background and regularly review recent migrants.

 @9GZYKWWanswered…3yrs3Y

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)

 @9GMTWNCanswered…3yrs3Y

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
