Rejected petition We need a referendum on the Nation of Sanctuary policy. Let the people of Wales decide.

The people of Wales are being dictated to in regards to the ‘Nation of sanctuary’ policy, we are wasting hundreds of thousands on immigrants that could be put to better use in supporting the native people of Wales.
We were never asked if we agreed or even wanted to be a nation of sanctuary, it has been forced upon us.
It’s time for the people of Wales to decide and stop this dictatorship by Plaid Cymru, Wales comes first.

More details

The Nation of Sanctuary introduced by Labour was forced upon the people of Wales, we were never asked if it is something we agreed with or wanted, Plaid have now taken on this crusade and again we are being dictated to by the Senedd.
It’s time to have an open and honest referendum on this policy and allow the people of Wales to decide its own future.
