Consider an alternate plan to accepting displaced people into the UK

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

UK has a history of supporting and sheltering victims, but pressure on public services from unfettered immigration has brought the UK to a point where it cant cope with a major influx of displaced people, without major impact on the very fabric of our public services and welfare state.

Short term emotional decisions will prolong austerity and result in further cuts to the Welfare System that is crucial to supporting British society, as well as pushing Public Services beyond the crisis point many services have already reached.

We request that the Dublin Agreement is enforced with respect to asylum seekers & resources from the International Development budget diverted to ensure that displaced people and temporary residents can be safely repatriated to their country of origin.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not quite clear what action you would like the UK Government to take.

Your petition mentions the Dublin Agreement. We already have a petition asking for the UK to refuse to accept any more refugees that are already in a safe country:

Refuse to accept any more refugees that are already in a safe country.

If you would like the Government to take a different action, you might like to start a petition making a specific request for action.
