No, but the system needs a total revamp. Additionally, the rights of migrants who have already settled in Britain should be secure.
@8ZHHKFY2yrs2Y
No and make the current point based system more lenient especially for refugees
@9P83DWS1mo1MO
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.
@9HGPB7X8mos8MO
No, but train citizens in jobs and make wages and benefits such that immigrant workers are not so necessary
@8ZHZMNC2yrs2Y
No, make the current point based system more lenient especially for refugees

Immigration policy needn’t be “stricter” but should welcome in refugees and valuable workers, and ensure their integration and basic education.
