Rejected petition Take action! Stop illegal immigration!
Rejected on
We might well have left the EU, but the issue of illegal immigration still remains a problem.
Illegal immigrants are entering the UK in many different ways.
Tougher action is needed to be able to patrol our borders.
The Government should take action to reduce illegal immigration into the UK and enable the rapid removal of immigrants found to be here illegally.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
Illegal immigration is already illegal by definition, and there is already enforcement of this, so we're not sure exactly what more you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as to increase funding for policing in this area.We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
