Do not accept any more refugees, asylum seekers or economic migrants

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Encouraging the risk these people take to get here by welcoming them with open arms is irresponsible at best, not only that we should be promoting our way of life and encouraging other countries to embrace, not import those who want that change, besides that we have no infrastructure to cope at all

Why it was rejected
