Petition Action

Cancel the proposed £40k payment for failed asylum seekers

Petition Details

Cancel the proposed trial and scheme to pay failed asylum seekers £40k to leave the country

Additional Information

It is morally unacceptable to pay failed asylum seekers more than the UK average wage to get them to leave a country where they should simply be deported.

This will attract even more migrants to enter the UK knowing they will be paid £40k to leave.

Several will keep coming back come back claiming no paperwork, different names and DOB to claim the benefit more than once…. It’s better than working for a living.

This is an insult to taxpayers across the UK and someone should stop it
