Oh come on, just listen to the music they overlay at the end when he has tears in his eyes because he is so happy that he made it. Sounds like a happy end to me.
Edit: And he is no asylum seeker in my book. He was in France so what is he fleeing from?
Someone that tells me I can't move to UK with a fake passport, I must stay in a safe and industrialised Western country like France? Must be terrifying!
Personally, I would think 'we' (humanity as a whole) would prefer him to be in a country where he is more likely to be able to contribute meaningfully to society. Unless his French is as good as his English (which is certainly possible), the UK seems like a better place for him to be.
You are all arguing past each other and being difficult. Make an attempt to interpret each other in the way you actually suspect they intend and respond to that rather than trying to trip them up.
