What is your ancestry? Can you share your immigration story with us? How did you end up where you are now? Would you be worse off if you/your ancestors had not immigrated? 2. Is your country facing an immigration crisis now? If so, what are the main problems/pressing issues that need to be addressed? 3. What should the criteria be to enter a country/acquire citizenship? 4. Should asylum seekers and refugees be given priority? Should they be allowed into the country while their cases are considered? 5. How should illegal entry be dealt with? Are deportation, prison or banning future entry the best options? 6. Once allowed to enter and settle, how should immigrants be expected to adapt or assimilate? 7. From your perspective, which country is the most immigration-friendly country? Why do you think so?
