Stop all Legal Aid to Migrants and Foreigners not born in the UK.

What the petition asks

Dealing with foreign criminals in Britain costs the taxpayer up to £1 billion a year, including £81 million in legal aid.
• Measures to keep foreign criminals out of Britain by turning them away at the border – even if they are European Union citizens – are not being used.

Stop foreign serial criminals abusing the British taxpayers by claiming Legal Aid to fight deportation. A good example of this is the story of Aso Mohammed Ibrahim as detailed in the media recently, who ran down a 12 year old girl and left her to "die like a dog". He has now successfully won his case to remain in this country as a failed asylum seeker, all thanks to Legal Aid.
