Is it not possible to seek asylum in a legal way? If it is possible, why commit crime by crossing illegally? I have some relatives in other countries, but I would not go visiting them just by crossing the border illegally.

The home secretary suella braverman couldn't explain a legal route for a hypothetical asylum seeker to enter the country when being questioned about a year ago, there's a good clip you should watch. The tories have made it much more difficult to enter the country to claim asylum and all that happened was an increase in small boats and a bigger smuggling black market. We should be checking people as they come in not making conditions where more people illegally entry to the country.

Visiting family is easier than seeking permanent residence.
