P-06-1174 Stop the Welsh government & public groups from making Wales a Nation of Sanctuary
This
petition was submitted Ted Jones, having collected a total of 1,619 signatures.
Text of Petition:
The Welsh government and
public groups, are actively promoting Wales as "a nation of
sanctuary" for foreign nationals (refugees and asylum seekers) to come and
live in Wales. This is NOT the will of the majority of the people in Wales. The
Welsh government have yet to consult with their constituents (ie the Welsh
nation), regarding this matter. If Wales becomes the Nation of Sanctuary, the
Welsh heritage will very quickly be eroded away.
Additional Information:
On
https://wales.cityofsanctuary.org they state (and i quote) "We’re pleased
we already have the support of Welsh Government and have started some really
exciting work with universities, the health service and trade unions".
Just because a very small minority of people in Wales, are willing to open
their arms, homes and country to refugees and asylum seekers, that DOES NOT
represent the majority of the Welsh nation.
We as a nation simply can
not sustain any more refugees and asylum seekers to be placed/housed in Wales.
The Welsh government can not afford to look after people and families that are
struggling to put food on the table or a roof over their heads as is. There are
thousands of people/families (including children) that are homeless in Wales
and require urgent help. The money saved by not accepting these refugees and
asylum seekers into Wales, could go towards helping people of Wales that really
need it.
We (the signed) want to
abolish Wales as a nation of sanctuary.
