I think perhaps there ought to be some concessions (e.g. for the victims of people trafficking) but I'd agree the rules ought to be much tighter. Whilst we continue to effectively reward such lawbreaking, we shouldn't be surprised if people indulge in it. They may argue that they were forced to break the law to get into the UK but that argument ceases as soon as they're here and anyone who decides to carry on doing so ought to have no right to asylum at all.
