What about a EU Common Immigration Policy?

Question

that is being proposed by the Lisbon Treaty. Would national governments still be able to set the rules for immigration with just a few basic common EU policies or would the EU be determining who is coming in?

Answer 1

EU law supersedes national law where there is a shared legislation responsibility. Where the EU is silent on a matter national legislature may legislate.  Even if there is a EU law a contrary can deny an immigration on public policy, public safety, and public health.  I do not believe at this point the EU would get to the point of where they start setting immigration levels and rules for the new Tier system. Instead I would suspect they would make laws in regard to how long an application could wait before a decision is made or the conditions on which an application could be denied.

Answer 2

policies and treaties wont make any difference, they will still keep alowing the scum to come to btitain and get free hand outs

Answer 3

Never happen.
