What the petition asks
We may be sending troops to Ukraine and possibly other places. Our Armed forces are short of personnel. We think a period of serving in the armed forces should be a condition of gaining British citizenship for those who entered the country illegally.
Many illegal immigrants housed in hotels are men over 18.
The Nepalese Gurkhas have served in our armed forces, and can gain citizenship. We think serving in the armed forces should be a condition of citizenship. In our view, we've paid a lot of money to accommodate illegal migrants so it's time they started paying us back!
