Are the border force and the RNLI losing their touch?

Do you understand that if something is illegal the idea is that you don't do it?

Do you understand that these questions require proper consideration and answers, not being ignored or responded to with repeated banging on about "illegality"?

So what should they do to claim asylum here in a legal way?

Please explain how they can enter with ID papers or passport and legally claim asylum.

 

[morqthana]

Nobody is stopping them claiming asylum where they are.

What should they do if they want to claim asylum here?

What should I do if I want a Superyacht but cannot buy one? I make do with what I can do.

[motorbiking]

Do you understand that when someone is in a safe country and can claim asylum if they are genuinely in need they should do so, rather than pay smugglers thousands?

We cannot always do what we want, sometimes we have to settle for what we can do,

I assume that MBK is suggesting tht they should cross the channel, and land in UK and claim asylum here, which is what they can do

pay smugglers thousands?

Which is what they can do, as you suggested.

Do you understand that people are entitled to claim asylum in the country of their choice?

How should they claim asylum here?

 

[Mottie]

How did they end up in France? Is this the first safe country you speak of, or have they passed through others to get there?

Are you really that clueless?

What is a person's status if they enter and remain in a country illegally and do not claim asylum?

It depends on the circumstances. You may see the words reasonable efforts or some such in the ‘rules’.

 

[Mottie]

It depends on the circumstances.

Try sneaking into France with no ID, tell them you are being persecuted in the U.K. and see what they can do for you. Let us all know how you get on.

I'm guessing he knows the answer. He wants you to think about it, and to offer an explanation to ensure you've guessed correctly.

Humour me (@MBK)

I imagine if you apply for asylum, they're obliged to consider it. They might laugh at you, but I assume they're obliged to amuse you.

More irrelevance.
Your side tried to make it a legal/illegal situation. It isn’t. You failed.

Okay then. Just for the clueless one. Most of them come in via Greece or Italy. Both safe countries last time I heard.
