This thread is specifically about the illegals

They aren't "illegals".

This thread is specifically about the illegals crossing the Channel in small boats from France.

Pity those in distress in The Channel, could not be quite a specific, then eh.

WARNING: Do not muck about in The Channel in an inflatable craft. You WILL be ignored if you get into difficulties.

Lol.

Of course they are. The liberal / socialist bed wetters keep telling us there is no legal route, so breaking French law to load an unsafe and un registered dingy is not legal before you even get to the English coast. Is this too simple a concept or do you keep ignoring it as it does not fit your narrative.

 

[denso13]

as it does not fit your narrative.

My narrative about wanting the Government to do something? Guilty as charged...

They aren't "illegals".

They are entering the country illegally so, yes they are.

 

[Andydevon]

But they leave the French coast governed by France. Yes the Government could do more to dissuade the flow by making it less attractive.

They are entering the country illegally so, yes they are.

Not if they claim asylum when they get here. Which the vast majority do.

Or process people quicker, or have legal routes.

Rubbish as proven by numerous prosecutions

Ahh the old, make a bigger door argument.

I wonder how many economic migrants there are in the world who would like to live in the U.K? Shall we say 20 million ? Is you door going to be big enough?

You are missing the point completely. But you probably know that.

They aren't prosecuted for entering the country and claiming asylum.
That would contravene the Refugee Charter.

I think the point is you don’t have a solution that reduces illegal immigration to the U.K. via small boat.

A safe legal route means a route that the asylum seekers do not have to risk death on the high seas to access.
It does not automatically grant every claimant immediate success with their application. They are still required to prove their need for asylum.

Nonsense, there is no get out of jail free card.
