Scotland depends on positive net migration to sustain our public services, fill skills gaps and grow the economy. That means we need a migration system built for Scotland’s needs – not one imposed by Westminster.

More details

Only independence gives Scotland the power to design a migration system that reflects our values and meets our needs. With independence, we can support rural communities, attract the skills our economy needs, and grow a society that welcomes people rather than scapegoats them.

Scotland is already showing that it is a country people want to come to. Independence is how we make sure our migration policies match our ambitions – not Westminster’s obsessions.
