What the petition asks

Protect our resources from illegal imigrants coming here and redirect the resources to the massive social issues we have in this country, we can help others once we put our own house in order first

The morale of people not receiving proper housing and people who are on boarder line poverty is growing the illegal imigrants are adding to the problem

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Immigration officers already have the power to take several actions against illegal migrants, including the power to detain them for "the purpose of removal": https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/537231/Immigration_Act_-_Part_3_-_Enforcement.pdf.

Further, not all undocumented migrants entering the UK are doing so illegally - many will be entering the country for the purpose of seeking asylum: https://www.gov.uk/claim-asylum.
