Agree, although locking them up seems to be part of the 'plan'.

The fact that they could have claimed asylum elsewhere is, in terms of out international obligations, neither here nor there. If one is, say, a female judge from Afghanistan you don't lose the status of Asylum Seeker and become an 'economic migrant' by crossing France etc to come to UK.
Other than under current UK law, which may well breach our international obligations, no illegality is involved.
Even people like Ian Huntley have Human Rights under ECHR.

That's certainly the case. But we said so during the referendum.
