Rejected on
Abolish the ability for illegal immigrants to claim legal aid
Because it is being used at british tax payers expense to enable immigrants to stay in uk when they have not paid into our system. Due to the ability to claim legal aid immigrants including violent criminals are being defended and granted leave to stay in uk
