Closed petition: Suspend all UK foreign aid to nations that refuse to take back illegal migrants

Closed on 5 July 2026

Publish a list of countries blocking citizen returns, suspend UK aid until compliance is met, make aid legally conditional on cooperation with UK immigration, report annually to Parliament, and detain illegal migrants until asylum or deportation for public safety.

We want this to protect UK taxpayers and public services, uphold border integrity, and ensure accountability. Some countries refuse to repatriate their nationals. We believe this increases pressure on services and contributes to rising crime and violence. We believe Foreign Aid must be conditional on cooperation to stop subsidising obstruction, safeguard communities, and reinforce the UK’s immigration system, ensuring national security and fairness in the use of public funds.
