Take action to prevent illegal attempts to enter UK across the Channel

What the petition asks
The Government must take further action to stop illegal attempts to enter the UK across the Channel.
People entering the UK illegally across the Channel are undocumented, and we do not know whether they pose a risk to the country. People entering the country this way also put additional pressure on already overstretched health and public services.
