Rejected

What the petition asks
Honour government’s manifesto pledge to Take Back Control of our money, laws and borders noting the more than trembling of economic migration via the Channel Crossing and other methods. Set up an offshore processing centre for all asylum claims. All undocumented arrivals automatically denied entry.
With conservative estimates of 1.5M migrants in the United Kingdom and over 26,000 (87% male) arriving via the Channel crossing alone in 2021 to date, the government needs to realise the benefits of Brexit and their commitment to Take Back Control of our money, laws and borders.
