Reallocate illegal migrant spending and use money to fund other things

Closed 197 signatures

What the petition asks

Reallocate the billions spent on housing and supporting undocumented or illegal migrants, and instead use that money to fund reductions in council tax and invest in the UK, including housing, the NHS, youth programmes, small businesses, and support for low-income British families.
While the UK faces a housing crisis, NHS backlogs, and record council tax rises, the government is spending billions to house and support migrants who enter illegally, including hotel stays. If this continues, we think public trust will collapse.
