Stop accepting Syrian and other Refugees into UK.
Opening up UK's borders and agreeing quotas will not solve the refugee crisis. In fact, it would make it worse by increasing pull factors and encouraging people traffickers.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
We cannot accept duplicate petitions. We think this petition is similar to yours:
petition.parliament.uk/petitions/107142; or
petition.parliament.uk/petitions/107137
You might like to sign this petition instead. It is more likely to get more signatures that way.
