What the petition asks
We think that UK national security is the number one job of the UK government. We would like the Government to deploy the Royal Navy to help stop illegal immigrants entering the UK.
We believe that there isn't enough of a deterrent in place and a speedy response is needed and needed now. We think we are totally exposed to an increasing number of undocumented migrants entering our country. The UK Government should get tough. We believe international agreements are a waste of UK tax payers money, and money better spent in UK defence could allow the Navy to help prevent illegal migration.
