Rejected petition Give British people jobs first

More details

I think we need to give unemployed British people the first option to take available jobs and immigrant workers should only be able to take jobs if there are no British applicants or the skill set is not available.
We need to train our people and insist unemployed people take available jobs as long as they can afford to live on the wages paid.
