Rejected petition Detain and deport all illegal migrants

The Government should introduce legislation requiring the detention of all illegal migrants in UK, and the prompt deportation to their country of origin or a safe third country.

More details

The UK’s asylum and immigration system is overwhelmed by the high numbers of illegal entries. This places an unsustainable burden on housing, public services, and border security.

We believe the only effective deterrent is to ensure that anyone who enters/resides in the country illegally is detained and deported - a programme should be set for a five year deportation scheme to remove every illegal migrant.

Secure detention, followed by mass deportations are urgently required.
