Rejected petition Stop immigration for 5 years to allow the job market to be filled by the large number of unemployed.

More details

British business will just have to make the best of the British workers. They may require more tea breaks but at least it will keep them off benefits. The benefits system is a terrible drain on our taxes.
Exceptional immigration cases can still be looked at.
Ignore Europe. What can they do? They failed to stop the French removing the Roma, and all this petition asks for is to stop immigration not remove people already here.
