What the petition asks
Over the past few weeks there have been reports in the media about illegal immigrants trying to enter our country by boat.
What is happening at the moment is that our Border Force is taking control of the boats from the French mid-Channel.
This is not a solution to the problem.
It is enabling it

We need to take a far more robust approach with the way we deal with this problem.
The ONLY way to deal with this issue is to start turning the boats back.
The only way to stop the people trafficking trade is to stop the flow of boats trying to come to our country.
For too long, we have been seen as a soft touch.
Enough is Enough!
It is time for our Government to get tough on the boats and SEND THEM BACK!
