Cable Forum - View Single Post - Should EU migrants be made to leave the UK?

There's been a lot of discussion about what we should do with regards to EU migrants on the political programmes today.

It does look like we will not be able to get what we want from the EU without accepting free movement, which I'm happy to say our Government will not accept, so questions are now being asked as to what we do with any migrants over here.

Some will say send them all back, some will be more liberal and say that they should all be allowed to stay.

My view is that each person should be considered on their merits and questions should be asked about what they have brought to the UK.

Do they work?

Are they claiming any benefits (even if working)?

Have they broken the law, if so to what extent?

Do they work in a skill shortage area?

Have they started a successful business, particularly relevant if they employ others?

What recourse to public funds have they had? Eg what are they likely to take out when compared to what they put in eg do they use a lot of NHS resources or are they likely to in the near future?

Have they carried out any laudable activities that are beneficial to wider society as a whole eg voluntary work or have they put others first by helping someone who was drowning or trapped in a fire etc.

What questions/criteria (if any) would you like to see?
