The UK to accept more Refugees from countries effected by the USA 3 month ban

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Do we really care about the people in these war torn countries? Genuine people in need are no longer able to seek asylum in the USA. During this 3 month period outlined by President Trump's executive order the UK government should up the numbers of refugees the UK accepts to help bridge the gap
Whatever your political stance regarding the 3 month immigration suspension being imposed by the USA, the result is genuine families and individuals in danger in the 7 countries affected will be the ones who lose out. We accept the West should received refugees from these war torn countries as it is our duty to care for all people around the world. During this time the UK and others should accept more refugees to help bridge the gap created by the American ban. Lets make a difference
