Stop considering asylum requests for 2 years to control illegal migration
Suspend the asylum system for 2 years. We believe this could clear the asylum backlog and help the Government introduce a fairer asylum and welfare system, and suitable accommodation for genuine asylum seekers. We believe systems are abused, misused and broken.

Background
Under this suspension anyone arriving illegally by any route claiming asylum should be returned immediately to the country they travelled from. Many of us agree we have a migrant crisis. We think we should take ownership of our borders. We believe UK taxpayers cannot support everyone who arrives at our borders and demands asylum. We want this suspension so the systems change so they are sustainable, affordable and fit for purpose.
