Of course conservatives have to bring immigrants into this. Shameful.

Fishing boat where it shouldn't be - prosecute and fine.
Addressing the migrant comment - if you catch a small boat, your government gets to pay to settle or remove the occupants; if it sneaks through your government has to pay nothing. The game theory says "I saw no boat". Shift the reward mechanism, have the boat's departure nation pay half the costs, suddenly the reward mechanism says "boat spotted".
