Regardless of whether you are wanting to be more welcoming or you are wanting to reduce numbers, I think we can agree the current immigration system needs an overhaul. Once you’ve got a system that works efficiently, fairly and transparent ly, you can then start working on your immigration policies (stricter or less strict).
Currently everything takes too long, new laws are brought in and applied retrospectively (unlike every other part of UK law) and for a vast proportion of the world’s population there is no system to even try and get in.
