Stop illegal immigrants getting council houses
Rejected
14 signatures
What the petition asks
The government should not be giving illegals council houses to get them out of hotels, the government should return them to their home country
Illegal immigrants should not be given council or social housing, the illegals must be returned to their home country, the government should also stop these illegals from entering British territorial waters amd return the boats back to France by whatever means necessary, council housing should only be given to the British people and not to illegals
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We're not sure if you want all those who arrive illegally to be deported and not allowed to apply for asylum, or if you want to stop the government scheme through which councils can apply for grants to build council housing for asylum seekers. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like to happen.
