Once they have the right to be here, any.
The thing people don't seem to realise is that for genuine asylum seekers, they often don't have appropriate travel documents, so their ONLY option is to pay to come on a small boat.
If they were able to apply for asylum before they get here, they would have an appropriate document and the money they would spend on a small boat can go on a plane and they can arrive legally.
It's only 1 part of what actually needs to happen, but it is absolutely key.
