Rejected petition PROSECUTE ANY PERSON ILLEGALY ENTERING THE UNITED KINGDOM.

Introduce legislation making it a criminal offence, punishable by imprisonment and subsequent deportation, for any person illegally entering the United Kingdom.

More details

For too long we have seen people entering the United Kingdom by illegal means doing so with impunity. Illegal immigrants are housed in hotels at costs to the taxpayer. There appears to be a state of moribundity in the Government's handling of this increasingly unacceptable state of affairs. Government is out of touch with the feelings of the people and we, the signatories, call upon the Government to do it's duty and punish those who are breaking the law.
