Rejected petition Introduce a temporary ban on immigration!

We call upon the Government to introduce a temporary ban on immigration to protect jobs and prevent the spread of Covid19.
We have Eastern European people coming in to carry out fruit picking.
How can this be right when our own people are being overlooked?

More details

It is time to bring in temporary immigration restrictions to prevent the spread of the "Invisible Killer" and give our own people the chance to work first.
