Rejected petition No illegal migrant amnesty under Boris Johnson or any other future leader.

Boris Johnson previously expressed support for an amnesty for illegal migrants who have been in Britain for several years.

This would encourage more illegal migration and break many MPs' manifesto commitments to reduce net migration. Neither Mr Johnson nor any other future leader should pass one.
