Rejected petition Stop the daily influx of illegal immigrants coming into the UK via the channel.

Change our laws to make it possible to deport all illegal immigrants who arrive on our shores because they have already landed in a safe EU country on the continent. The current influx is contrary to the agreement signed between France and the UK which has cost taxpayers £114m in since 2015.
