What the petition asks
We urge the Government to immediately detain all migrants who enter the UK illegally. We believe this will make our towns and cities safer.
Immigration removal centres hold illegal entrants and overstayers to avoid people absconding.
Hotels are currently being used to house illegals and the government pays private companies.
