What the petition asks
Ministers announced on Wednesday they would stop arrivals in March once they reached 350 - far fewer than the 3,000 originally expected.
We as a country should be doing so much more to help vulnerable children and to fall nearly 90% short of doing what many feel is the bare minimum is shameful.
