Why it was rejected

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

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about immigration, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Non-UK citizens already have limited rights to benefits, and only have housing paid for in certain circumstances.

If you are concerned about illegal attempts to enter the UK you might like to sign the following petition:

Take action to prevent illegal attempts to enter the UK: Take action to prevent illegal attempts to enter the UK
