Original Note:
The post uses the term 'illegal' twice. It is not illegal to claim asylum, anyone entering the UK illegally can be detained and jailed/ removed. A change in UK law means only that anyone arriving by boat can have consideration of their application refused by the Home Office. https://www.gov.uk/claim-asylum#:~:text=You%20must%20apply%20for%20asylum,is%20eligible%20to%20claim%20asylum. https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/refugees-and-asylum-seekers-uk-policy/
