What the petition asks
illegal migrant crossings this year have skyrocketed. Only 6 percent of immigrants brought over by the taxi service that is UK Border Force have been returned to France. The situation is a disgrace
Return all illegal immigrants back to France if they cross the channel and stop UK Border Force acting like their personal taxi service
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Under international law, it is legal for a person to apply for asylum in any country that has signed the 1951 Geneva Convention and to remain there until the authorities have assessed their claim.
You could start a new petition asking the UK Government to withdraw from international treaties that give people the right to seek asylum in the UK, if that's what you'd like to happen.
