What the petition asks
British people feel like second class citizens in their own Country. Immigrants who have paid nothing into the system are given priority with everything including housing, schools, benefits, legal aid, NHS etc. In many cases their views, beliefs, culture takes precedence over British people.
At a time when there are thousands presently on waiting lists for housing and thousands of homeless people (amongst them ex-servicemen). At a time when our schools are over sub-scribed. At a time when disabled and young people are losing benefits because of austerity. At a time when it is impossible to get a dentist, doctor's appointment. Is it then fair to put illegal immigrants into 3 star hotels? Is this fair www.gov.uk/asylum-support/what-youll-get? British citizens have had enough!!
