It is overruled by this document we signed called the UN Convention on Refugees
1. The Contracting States shall not impose penalties, on account of their
illegal entry or presence, on refugees who, coming directly from a territory
where their life or freedom was threatened in the sense of Article1, enter or
are present in their territory without authorization, provided they present
themselves without delay to the authorities and show good cause for their
illegal entry or presence.
They are breaking no laws, committing no crimes. Also you said this.

So you are willing to use this fact to save a prime minister but on the other hand are not using it to defend thousands of desperate people who come to our shores on boats. A little consistency please
