Petition Action

End the automatic right to citizenship if you have a child in the UK

Petition Details

We must end the automatic right to citizenship if you have a child in the UK. Many from overseas come to the UK, with the idea of giving birth to a child in the UK. That child gets automatic citizenship as do the parents. It's open to abuse. This is an open practice among some communities abroad.

Additional Information

I know this because every time I go to India I am flooded with offers for arranged marriage and they are very open with the plan. Once citizenship is gained they sign up for social security benefits and send money home paid for by the UK taxpayer!

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Parents of children born in the UK do not have an automatic right to UK citizenship, so it is unclear what changes you want to be made to existing eligibility for UK citizenship.
