Temporary Citizenship for Migrants in the UK during COVID-19 Pandemic.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

To support the people who are not currently part of the system financially and physically during the pandemic. So they are not left without any support because majority of these people work on very minimum daily wage. The chances are they are left jobless and potentially with zero support.
I feel such people have no personal support system and they can't go to any authorities for assistance, and funding like ordinary citizens.
