What the petition asks
Close our borders and stop funding illegal immigrants.
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 UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about illegal immigration, but we're not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take. In particular, we're not sure what you'd like "closed borders" to mean. In any case, people who are found to be in the UK illegally are not eligible for Government help, so we're not sure what funding you'd like to stop.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask the UK Government to withdraw from all agreements that require the UK to accept immigrants and refugees, if that's what you'd like to happen.
