Original Note:
This hotel is widely reported to house asylum seekers, not illegal migrants. Some may have arrived in the UK by irregular means. Under the 1951 refugee convention to which the UK is a signatory it is permissible to enter irregularly - this is not illegal migration. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/rotherham-hotel-holiday-inn-protest-riot-b2590969.html https://metro.co.uk/2024/08/04/rotherham-riot-holiday-inn-migrant-hotel-know-far-21358399/amp/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregular_migration https://www.rescue.org/uk/article/migrants-asylum-seekers-refugees-and-immigrants-whats-difference https://www.unhcr.org/uk/about-unhcr/who-we-are/1951-refugee-convention
