Petition Action

Create a policy to intercept and detain immigrants who enter the UK illegally.

Petition Details

Create a policy whereby the UK's Border Force are empowered to intercept boats transporting illegal immigrants; immediately detain them; and, either return them to where they travelled from, or take them to overseas island detention centres where their asylum claims will be processed.

Additional Information

The country is at a crisis point as a result of the government's policy to support immigrants who enter the UK illegally. The housing system is under pressure. The benefits system is overwhelmed and driving the country towards bankruptcy. Theft, sexual assaults, terrorist connections and unsocial behaviour attributed to illegal immigration is making UK citizens feel unsafe. The Government seems to have no plan to deal with the crisis. Consequently, the country is on the verge of social unrest.
