This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Petition No amnesty for illegal immigrants living in Britain.
Amnesty for illegal immigrants in Britain should be rejected because:
* It is wrong in principle to reward illegal behaviour.
* Amnesties have demonstrably failed in other EU countries.
More details
* It would be much more effective to tighten access to the labour market and prevent fraudulent access to the welfare state.
* This would deter new arrivals and encourage illegal immigrants already here to return home.
