So, do we have a sort of "Mexico" situation here?
People seeking asylum from oppression, should not be coming to the UK from the EU.
People seeking to enter the UK as economic migrants should not be allowed into the UK from any source.
It follows, therefore, that the UK must institute measures to prevent the arrival of migrants from the EU. Easier said than done and this has nothing to do with the Geneva Convention unless they actually get here.
