Referendum on national security, should we close boarders to irregular migrants.

What the petition asks
Should we continue to allow illegal and irregular entry into the UK as managed by current laws or vote to return or detain all people entering the UK by illegal or irregular routes.
Declare a national emergency and close our boarders to illegal and irregular migrants that enter the UK without the customary checks that would safeguard UK citizens. In this current climate of global unrest, it is apparent that agents of hostile countries could exploit weak boarder controls, that could allow entry to the UK and compromise security at a personal, local and national level.
