What the petition asks
This petition calls for illegal immigrants who have been in UK for 7 years or more to be given amnesty and the legal right to stay in the UK. The Government could provide a 2.5 year visa. The illegal Immigrants would still have to pay the fee or apply for a fee waiver.
The amnesty will help the stop of the spread of COVID19. Many illegal immigrants are not taking medical advice because of not having any status. It is the right time to bring an amnesty, help the immigrants and at the same time save lives.
