What the petition asks
While a political target is needed to control immigrant, it should be preventing new ones from coming in, or persuading foreign students not to stay, but please don't punish whom is already here, worked for a few years and paid their taxes.
They may just bought their first house, had their first baby. Asking them to leave is like pulling young plants out of the pot they just get used to, how cruel! Family value is claimed embraced here, but Home Office is denying this value under the name of government. If you don't want somebody to be here, don't take them in; if you took them here, treat them fairly. Most people are born kind, but the evil side can turn up if they are treated unfairly, as a human nature.
