Original Note:
The question, set by Goodwin’s own company, is inaccurate. Arriving by small boat is only illegal if you don’t claim asylum – or if you make an asylum claim and it’s rejected. Around 92% of migrants arriving this way have claimed asylum. Most await a decision. https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-is-it-illegal-to-cross-the-channel-on-a-small-boat# https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/people-crossing-the-english-channel-in-small-boats/# https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/14256286/officers
