Stop allowing immigrants into Great Britain.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Great Britain's infrastructure can not absorb anymore immigrants. The NHS is stretched to breaking point, there is not enough housing to go around the people that are already living here. They will also drain our energy resources.
We need to make this country a safe and better place to live in for the people that are already here. Would also like to be reassured that all refugee's that you have allowed in this country, have been security checked, and if so how?
