House all asylum seekers who entered the UK illegally in basic accommodation

Closed 67 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to house asylum seekers who entered the UK illegally in basic accommodation that caters to their basic needs - shelter, food, clothing, hygiene - until the Government is able to design and implement realistic plan of relocating and removing them from the country permanently.
We believe the country has been inundated by people who have entered the UK illegally. Given the number of safe countries many of these individuals travel through in order to reach the UK, we also believe many are economic migrants, and not genuine refugees.

We are sick of the current situation, and platitudes from the Government. These people should be placed in basic accommodation, not hotels, until a solution can be reached for relocation.
