Original Note:
It isn’t illegal to seek asylum, because seeking asylum is a legal process. The 1951 Refugee Convention does not require a person to claim asylum in the first safe country they reach. People trying to cross the Channel can legitimately claim asylum in the UK if they reach it. https://www.unhcr.org/uk/about-unhcr/who-we-are/1951-refugee-convention
