Stop all legal immigration to UK for workers earning less than £80000 a year

Closed 194 signatures

What the petition asks

Suspend all immigration to UK for at least 5 years for workers earning £80,000 or less to reduce pressures on the economy, social housing, the NHS, schools and other resources.
The Government should focus on training British nationals to undertake jobs where there are shortages using national initiatives instead.

We believe the UK has a huge burden upon it due to mass legal and illegal migration. It affects everything in society from housing, to schools, to healthcare as well as the economy, which we believe has become all for the worse based on per capita. We feel it is time for the Government to listen to the people of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. We want it to stop for at least a period of 5 years, to take stock and re-evaluate risks and benefits to UK.
