Original Note:
The term 'illegal' should not be used as this suggests the people seeking refuge are criminals. It is perfectly legal to turn up this country via other safe countries and present themselves for asylum, especially if they are fleeing war/persecution etc. https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/networks/european-migration-network-emn/emn-asylum-and-migration-glossary/glossary/irregular-migration_en#:~:text=Due%20to%20this%20and%20the,offence%20but%20an%20administrative%20infringement. https://fullfact.org/immigration/can-refugees-enter-uk-illegally/ https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/networks/european-migration-network-emn/emn-asylum-and-migration-glossary/glossary/irregular-migration_en#:~:text=Due%20to%20this%20and%20the,offence%20but%20an%20administrative%20infringement.
