Close our Borders immediately
Rejected

What the petition asks
We the people of the UK no longer feel safe while an open border policy is still being operated in this country.
In view of the number of terrorist attacks happening in this Country., we the people feel our Borders should be closed immediately to people seeking residence, for whatever reason, and the ban should stay in place until an effective vetting system can by employed.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure whether you'd like the ban to apply only to people seeking residence or also to people who want to come to the UK on holiday or to visit friends and family. We're also not sure that you mean by an effective vetting system.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
