"What the bar is for granting asylum is entirely irrelevant for the small boats argument."

Thats where you miss the point.

If the success rate to getting asylum is very high then its going to encourage more people to pay large sums to cross the channel.
Alos with so many cases it tends to overwhelm the system so each case probably doesn't get the investigative scrutiny it needs.
