you realise that the UK has a legl obligtion to accept asylum-seekers?

they are not illegal - the government has simply offered them no legal route to the country so they are forced to go to people-smugglers.
They aren't flying into Gatwick because many of them lack passports due to coming from counties we have helped to wreck, which is part of our obligation to them
