What the petition asks
Abandon any plans to expand refugee resettlement through new "safe and legal" routes.
Britain is already struggling with severe pressure on housing, public services and public finances. Expanding refugee resettlement would increase those pressures and put the British people at risk.
The Government should put the interests of the British people first.
Any refugees imported through this scheme must be deported.
