International Laws are moral obligations that are open to abuse , it is our moral obligation to rescue those in peril, when we do that they claim assylum.
Most do not admit their nationality, even if it can be proved it is not morally acceptable to return them, whether they are in danger or not.

How are Labour actively enouraging 'illegals'?
Can foreign nationals vote in UK general elections?

The Labour party are actively encouraging illegals, just as the previous party did. They seem to think that it will bring them more votes from the foreign nationals who are already settled here.
The native people of this country are being more and more alienated, and the government don't seem to be concerned about what this will ultimately lead to.

The right to seek asylum is a legal right we all share. It isn't illegal to seek asylum, because seeking asylum is a legal process”

No it isnt illegal to seek asylum.

But the getting here first and then doing it, is illegal.
They are entering illegally.

I do not know much about the International law on this subject.
I am hoping others do.

Or is it all a matter of Uk political will?
Uk laws need to be changed?
They cant all be tied up to International law.
