Stop illegal immigration from the English Channel immediately

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

British people are having to watch almost a thousand strangers enter our country illegally every day.
Falsely claiming to be refugees, when they are coming from France.
The fact £7 million a day is being spent on hotels at a time when ordinary people are struggling to heat or eat, is outrageous.
The British people have had enough and want the British government to stop the illegal entries immediately.
To stop housing them in hotels at our expense and to remove those already here either back to France or Rwanda.
It is not the hard-working taxpayer's job to pay for the keeping of people who are breaking into our country.
