Rejected petition Stop acceptance of illegal immigrants from Calais
On January 18th 2018, the Prime Minister, Theresa May, agreed that the UK should pay an extra £44.5 million to strengthen the UK border at Calais. Additionally she agreed with President Macron that potential immigrants should be 'fast tracked' into the UK.
More details
This will cause a huge influx of immigrants (already in a safe country) into Calais. It may even cause further loss of life as migrants make the decision to leave their country of origin.
The British people were not consulted about this policy. We do not want it.
