Automatically reject irregular asylum claims and reward documented entries

Summary

We want the government to change the law so that anyone entering the UK outside of official border points without documentation to automatically have their asylum claim rejected. Individuals presenting at official ports of entry with correct documentation should be accorded full due process. We call on the Government to change the law so that anyone entering the UK illegally outside official border control points, including by small boat, without permission or valid documentation, is not eligible to claim asylum. This would help deter dangerous crossings, disrupt people-smuggling gangs, strengthen border security, encourage lawful routes, reduce pressure on the asylum system, and increase public confidence in a fair and effective immigration system.
