It was also felt that immigrants should be skilled in a particular area, as this would be of benefit to the economy. It was also felt that immigrants should be willing to work in areas that the local population were unwilling to do. The group felt that immigration was good for the economy as it brought in a wider skillset and knowledge from other areas and ideas about how to do tasks. Immigrates were also often more willing to take on the manual labour tasks that locals were less likely to do. It was also felt that immigrants enrich the culture of the places they are, increasing knowledge of those cultures and bringing in businesses.” # ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - “In general, the group was in favour of immigration, but there was a need for some sort of control on the numbers of immigrants coming into the country.

There should be checks in place, to prevent uncontrolled immigration. Such controls should be focused on ensuring only those who could bring skill-sets which would benefit the economy are allowed into the country. Such skill-sets should be ones that the economy is lacking in. It was also felt that people should be able to work in areas that the local population would be unwilling to do. This would benefit the economy and the people of the country as they would be # ALTERNATIVE NAME 4: Statement 4 - “In general, the group was in favour of immigration, however there was a need for some sort of control on the numbers of immigrants coming into the country.
