To stop the influx of illegal immigrants.

What the petition asks
To step up pressure on traffickers and the French government by immediately returning the immigrants to either their home country or France to claim asylum. We must also introduce a law to fine France for each immigrant that reaches our shores.
These two measures, will if enforced, stop the immediate danger to the immigrants of crossing the channel and prove that this Country stands by its immigration policy. This will also encourage immigrants to claim asylum in the first Country they arrive in. Finally, it will encourage France to better police their own shoreline.
