The UK is facing an escalating issue with illegal immigration, particularly with individuals arriving by boats. These individuals are often housed at the expense of the UK taxpayers, causing undue financial burdens. As indicated by Migration Watch UK, illegal immigration is reported to be around 1 million in the UK (source: Migration Watch UK). We, as responsible UK citizens, believe it's high time that the UK government address this issue with a fair, yet firm hand. We urge the government not to grant Asylum to illegal immigrants and instead, implement strict measures to ensure all illegal immigrants are returned to their home countries. Empower border control agencies to deport boats that arrive with illegal immigrants, rapidly and effectively. Locate and deport the undocumented immigrants scattered around the UK, ensuring law enforcement agencies are well equipped to do so. Our taxpayer money should provide for the well-being of lawful, taxpaying UK residents and not be spent on those who disregard the law and enter the country illegally. This leads us to ask that the government prioritize tackling this issue and accelerating the deportation process for these illegal immigrants. Please lend your support to this cause by signing this petition.
