What the petition asks

My mother is 68 and retired, I'm her single child. I would like her to join me here in UK as my adult dependents. Having her around will help us both emotionally & strengthen the bonds with my relatives here in the UK and help us relate to our culture especially with my young cousins who love her.
To discuss the potential change in law regarding the adult dependents of British Citizens who are over the age of 65.
