Why should UK & EU accept anyone to remain permanently, together with their large extended family members, whenever a potential immigrant claimed that their own government and/or countrymen are persecuting them? A refugee given permanent resident status anywhere in the EU will be entitled to enter UK & permanently reside in UK.  Asylum seekers should be given temporary (not permanent) refuge somewhere suitable in the world. Any HMG that make UK a soft touch for asylum seekers, illegal immigrants & sort of human dustbin for the world would change British security, demographics, culture & identity of UK forever. Controlling immigration is more important, in the long run, then the fine tuning of health & education policies & will also lessen the demand for health, education, housing, social, law and order services in UK.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2011-10-19T08:40:41.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:24.157Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:35:57.835Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-10-19T08:40:41.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
