Original Note:
It is not illegal to claim asylum https://www.refugee-action.org.uk/facts-about-asylum/ People seeking asylum in the UK are only described as “illegal” because the Sunak government passed a law describing them as such. This law, is at variance with the country’s obligations under international human rights and refugee law https://www.unhcr.org/news/press-releases/uk-illegal-migration-bill-un-refugee-agency-and-un-human-rights-office-warn
