This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Send anyone who comes across from the EU illegally back to the EU within 24 hrs.
The EU offers asylum seekers refuge, and it is totally unacceptable for the UK to be the final destination for anyone attempting to cross the channel in any way to come here and expect this country to offer them asylum. We the British Public are fed up of it.
More details
We may be letting in terrorists, rapists, child molesters, criminals and extremely dangerous people into this country without any way to check their backgrounds. It has to stop and it must stop NOW. Anyone who is found on a boat or back of a lorry should be photographed, fingerprinted and within 24 hours returned with full media coverage back to the EU. If they are picked up at sea, the vessel that picks them up must be ordered to take them straight back to the EU.
