Stop the mass invasion of illegal migrants coming by boat to the UK

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Australian government has coordinated it's coastguard, navy and immigration control to stop illegal immigrants arriving by boat to their shores. They turn them back! We should do the same.
Nobody has a problem with immigrants who come legally, who can speak good English, who respect UK law and culture and positively contribute but these people are economic migrants who want a free ride courtesy of the UK taxpayer.
