finger print and take a photo of all illegal migrants as they come in to the uk
all illegal migrants to have finger prints and photos taken when they arrive in the UK
If you consider doing this it will give you a number of people coming in and also a record to check on if they have done a crime and you could say if they can not speak english with in 10 weeks of arriving they have to go home .
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:
The Home Office already requires the collection of biometric data (facial images and fingerprints) from all individuals who enter the UK unlawfully, subject to very limited exceptions including for children under five. This was recently confirmed by the Government in response to a Parliamentary Question about the issue: questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2025-06-10/58585
The powers for this are in the following laws:
• Section 141 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, for fingerprints
• Regulation 2 of the Immigration (Collection, Use and Retention of Biometric Information and Related Amendments) Regulations 2021, for photographs
You could start a new petition calling for the above powers to be made a legal requirement, if that's something that you'd like to see. We could also accept a petition calling for new English Language requirements for people to be able to seek asylum in the UK.
