This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. You could start a petition calling for EU citizens to have the same rights as UK citizens across all UK policy areas and laws.
