Immediately block the migrant crossings from France

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We the British people demand the military to take action and protect our sea border with France due to the complete failure of border force to do so . The government needs to act immediately and follow the Australian example. We the British people will no longer stand for this in a cost crisis.
Do it’s job and protect the uk sea border or alternatively scrap border checks at airports to pay for it , either way we have no idea who is entering this country ILLEGALLY

Why it was rejected

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

The Ministry of Defence has already taken primacy for the UK's operational response to small boat migration in the English Channel, so it's not clear what you want the Government to do differently.
