A Sensible And Fair Immigratiln Policy?

[Theland]

How would you design a sensible and fair immigration policy, and make provision for getting rid of undesirables?

[MallyJ]

Since a huge proportion of undesirables are home grown I would happily send both them and the non home grown nasties to a large island in the middle of a very large ocean.... both groups should be treated equally.....of course we are then left with the children of said nasties who should be helped to grow up to be useful members of society....

[Theland]

A good start.

[MallyJ]

Of course it goes without saying that we are all a product of migration somewhere along our ancestry lines....French and Belgian not too far back in my ancestry (the ones I have met!)....beginning of 20th century!

[Old_Geezer]

One out, one max in.
As for removing undesirables, not an immigration issue. Courts need to start banishing folk.

[bednobs]

i wouldnt; i vote for other people to do that for me

[Theland]

But you are being asked for a sensible immigration policy.
You have an opinion?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Fair and sensible?

"Sensible" is inviting foreigners to fill a skills gap. And "fair" is saying we don't mind where you come from. But we will ask the question which candidate is more likely to fit in - or not.

You've noticed that I've applied a basic moral rule about immigration policy: that it should be designed to benefit the host nation.

[Theland]

That is fair and sensible.

[Theland]

Yes another sensible answer.

[Theland]

An effective stop and search policy would help.

I have been called racist myself for calling a spade a spade.
Oops! There I go again!
But you are right.
The Abbott and Lammy factor.
