What the petition asks
We call on the UK Government to make a clear unambiguous statement that immigration is of benefit to the UK, that immigration, overseas tourism and international travel is vital to our economy, and that – whilst the UK borders are not open – stopping all international travel is impossible.
A petition calling on the UK Government to stop all immigration & close the UK borders until ISIS is defeated has been signed by 200K+ people & will be considered for debate.
Stop all immigration and close the UK borders until ISIS is defeated.
Immigration has huge benefits for the UK. Immigration, overseas tourism and international travel is vital to our economy. Stopping all travel in/out of the UK would be impossible, but unlike countries in the Schengen zone, the British borders are NOT open. Let sense prevail.
