Petition · past parliament

Ban all further refugee intakes, untill age verified checking is done .

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

The recent intake of so called refugee children from Calais is a shambles. We can clearly see these are not children , all intake stopped untill proper age verified checking is done .
The recent pictures of so called refugee children is a disgrace.

Children are not fully grown men .

Why it was rejected

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

Verify that all child refugees accepted into the UK are genuinely under 18.
