Original Note:
It is not illegal to cross the English Channel in a boat, nor is it illegal to enter without going through a designated port. However, failure to declare your arrival to the UK Border Force is illegal and already forfeits any right to claim asylum or settle. https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-is-it-illegal-to-cross-the-channel-on-a-small-boat https://levinslaw.co.uk/dinghies-in-the-channel-illegal-entrants-and-immigration-offences/
