Stop the daily influx of illegal immigrants coming into the UK via the channel.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Change our laws to make it possible to deport all illegal immigrants who arrive on our shores because they have already landed in a safe EU country on the continent. The current influx is contrary to the agreement signed between France and the UK which has cost taxpayers £114m in since 2015.
Attempts at clandestine entry into the UK (2010-2016). The numbers in 2020 are set to far surpass these records. Attempts by year and number:

2010 - 9,000
2011 - 10,000
2012 - 10,000
2013 - 16,000
2014 - 35,000
2015 - 84,000
