Prioritise British Citizens Over Illegal Immigrants for Housing and Support

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Immediately stop housing and supporting illegal immigrants. Enforce removals without delay. Prioritise housing and services for British citizens and legal residents. No one should be rewarded for breaking the law by entering or staying in the UK illegally.
It is a disgrace that illegal immigrants—who have broken the law to be here—are given free housing while British citizens, veterans, and working families sleep on the streets. This country should not reward criminality. If we can house lawbreakers, we have no excuse for failing our own people.
