Guarantee the UK citizenship of EU nationals living in the UK

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

People who migrated from the EU to the UK who live, work, and have families here have not been guaranteed citizenship following the democratic decision for the UK to leave the EU.

These people are British in all ways other than birthplace, and are not the Theresa May's political bargaining chips.
