Stop illegal immigrants being housed in the UK in hotels, or rental properties

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Put illegal immigrants in camps and stop housing them in hotels with full board and pocket money The government must cease all incentives that attract these mainly single young men to come across the channel. France puts them in tents.

Billions of pounds are being spent each year to house illegal immigrants in hotels and rental properties up and down the country with full board and accommodation all free to them. People are struggling up and down this country due to cost of living and these mainly single young men have all needs catered for at tax payers expense. Also the promise of refurbishment of the dwelling they are residing in is ridiculous. This situation is getting worse each day.

Why it was rejected

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

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Illegal immigrants are not entitled to housing, including in hotels.

Under international law, people have legal rights to apply for asylum in any country that has signed the 1951 Geneva Convention and to remain there until the authorities have assessed their claim.

You could start a new petition asking the UK Government to withdraw from international treaties that give people the right to seek asylum in the UK, if that's what you'd like to happen.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
