Petition Devolve responsibility for immigration policy in Scotland.

It looks like the EU migrants are now leaving the UK after Brexit and we don’t want that. So, I call on the UK government to devolve some powers over immigration, especially the responsibility over immigration policy to the Scottish Parliament.

More details

We, Scots welcome immigrants to come and live in Scotland, and work in Scotland, when England doesn’t. We welcome especially EU migrants, who pay their taxes raised in Scotland and contribute to our economy and if they go, we will miss out. So we need them. I know we haven’t known about this before, but countries like Canada and Australia have regional/provincial immigration policies within a nation-wide framework.
