This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Immigration officers already have the power to take several actions against illegal migrants, including the power to detain them for "the purpose of removal": https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/537231/Immigration_Act_-_Part_3_-_Enforcement.pdf.
Further, not all undocumented migrants entering the UK are doing so illegally - many will be entering the country for the purpose of seeking asylum: https://www.gov.uk/claim-asylum.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
