Stop housing asylum seekers in hotels and stop benefits to economic migrants

What the petition asks
We ask the government to stop housing asylum seekers in hotels and to stop paying benefits to suspected economic migrants.
The refugee crisis is getting worse as more and more asylum seekers and economic migrants risk their lives to come to the UK. We ask the government to make coming to the UK less attractive by stopping benefits being payed to suspected economic migrants, we also ask that all asylum seekers be housed in basic accommodation instead of hotels as this costs the British tax payers millions of pounds per day.
