"A tracker poll by YouGov suggests that immigration and asylum have been seen by many over the last 15 years as among the most important issues facing the country, alongside the economy and the health service."
"Ministers are also not ruling out closing down visa routes where it is clear a disproportionate number later go on to claim asylum fraudulently."
