Legally.

I fail to see how that point is relevant. Unless you’re one of those people who’s whole schtick is “border controls should not exist at all”

Legally.

Tell that to the monks at Lindisfarne.

  In 635 the Northumbrian king, Oswald (reigned 634–42), summoned an Irish monk named Aidan from Iona – the island-monastery off the south-west coast of what is now Scotland – to be bishop of his kingdom. Oswald granted Aidan and his companions the small tidal island of Lindisfarne on which to found a monastery.
  
  Sounds pretty legal to me
