Help illegal immigrants during the COVID-19 with NHS and financial support.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Free COVID-19 testing and treatments to everyone including illegal immigrants. 
An immediate end to legislation enforcing on illegal immigrants. Fix the status of all undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers so that they can remain in the UK legally without any fears. 
It is a duty for any government to ensure that everyone regardless of their residency status have access to health and emergency fundings.

More than 30 human rights organisations are warning that the government’s attempts to control the spread of the disease and protect public health is being undermined by policies designed to prevent undocumented immigrants from accessing public services.

That’s why we undersigned calling on the UK prime Minister and Government to urgently take measures.
