A law where ? How is that even relevant.
I doubt any country has such a law, why would they.
Asylum is however something all countries are obliged to provide under the Geneva Convention, and the EU (which all these people pass though on the way to the UK) even has its own "Common European Asylum System". So there is no reason for them to flee all the way to the UK, risking their lives (and the lives of others when their boats get into trouble).
