Refuse entry to all refugees including the proposed 15,000

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

We do not have the space or infrastructure to accept these people and have enough homeless people if our own that should receive the help proposed for these refugees

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
