Remove entitlements of people who entered the UK illegally

Petition Details

We want the Government to remove the automatic entitlement to accommodation, financial assistance, and free legal representation to people arriving in the UK illegally.

Additional Information

We believe countries offering such assistance are targeted as destinations.

It is clear that large amounts of money are being paid to traffickers to get to the UK from France, plus more costs to get there in the first instance. These costs would amount to a significant value in the country they have left.

We believe removing current entitlements would reduce the flow we now experience and in turn reduce the loss of life in the channel and cost to us the tax payers.
