Permit US citizens to claim asylum in the United Kingdom
The recent US Presidential election has left millions of Americans facing the terrifying prospect of an oppressive, racist, sexist government. We, the undersigned, call on the UK government to permit asylum claims from all US citizens wishing to flee the persecution of a Trump presidency.
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:
US citizens can already claim asylum in the UK, though there is also no guarantee that they will be granted asylum. In the UK, asylum is only granted to an applicant if they have left their country and are unable to go back for fear of persecution.
US citizens wishing to live in the UK can apply for a visa using the link below:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
