Legally, none, apart from genuine refugees.
There is a temporary migrant agricultural worker visa scheme but since the migrants generally take their UK wages back to a country with a much lower coast of living, they aren't really "poor" for half of the year.
Illegally, anyone who has given all his money to a crook with a rubber boat, and manages to get halfway across the English Channel, gets hotel accommodation and free healthcare without being allowed to work.
Anyone without a visa who is paid to cross the channel in a properly equipped and competently manned rubber boat is called an invader, and shot.
What justifies the exception?
Why only half of the year?
Why is it illegal?

Quote from: hamdani yusuf on 19/12/2023 12:49:51Why is it illegal?Because a legal immigrant is someone with a visa, who has paid EUR50 to get here by ferry, train or plane.
Are you OK with rich criminals?
So, arbitrary rules, aren't they?

What's your personal opinion?
Morality puts a boundary between in group and out group. The universal morality puts the largest boundary logically possible, which is between conscious entities and non-conscious entities. Since consciousness is a continuous parameter, that boundary is necessarily gradual.
Quote from: hamdani yusuf on 21/12/2023 11:00:33What's your personal opinion?I don't welcome criminals. Only a fool or a corrupt politician would.
So the moral is, don't end up on the losing side of any war, and if you do, don't expect anyone to help you.
