Amnesty for illegal migrants who have been in UK for 5 years

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

There are many people who are in the UK for 5 years who are capable to contribute to the UK economy and they are free from criminal convictions and civil injunctions.

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 exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure whether you want an amnesty for all illegal immigrants or only for some, for example those who have "contributed" and have no criminal convictions.

You might like to sign this petition instead:

Amnesty for illegal immigrants who have been in UK for 10 years

Otherwise, you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
