Petition Introduce offshore detention/mass deportation for illegal migrants
The Government should seek to establish offshore detention facilities for individuals who enter the UK illegally, to process them and arrange their deportation.
More details
The UK is facing unprecedented levels of illegal migration, particularly through small boat crossings. We believe current use of hotels and temporary accommodation is unsustainable, costly and dangerous.
We believe that establishing offshore detention centres would act as a strong deterrent, prevent absconding, and allow for the swift processing and removal of those who enter illegally.
We consider the detention and mass deportation of all illegal migrants in the UK is a necessity.
