Rejected petition: Stop the gov changing laws that allow illegal immigrants to gain UK citizenship

Rejected on

We need to stop the government making minor changes in the law to allow illegal immigrants to gain citizenship in the UK, and to stop the government funding these applications. Criminals should not be able to apply.

Illegal immigrants should not be allowed to apply for citizenship and should not be funded by the govenment to do this. Sneaking changes to the law is completely unacceptable, Illegal is illegal and criminals should not be able to apply for citizenship under any circumstances.


Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

In accordance with the UK Government's "Good Character requirement", anyone applying for citizenship who previously entered the UK illegally will normally be refused.

You could submit a new petition specifying which changes to the rules you object to.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
