To clarify:
1. It's well established that most asylum seekers are fleeing from appalling conditions and threats to their lives, rather than 'for reasons I know not', which probably justifies some 'special treatment' at our end.
2. The hotels they're put in usually have owners who are happy to fill them with a blanket asylum deal which offers nothing like a 4-star experience.  
3. A simple solution would be to speed up the assessment process, which in practice most asylum seekers pass, but the Home Office under successive governments seems ill-equipped or unprepared to do this, maybe to intentionally magnify the apparent 'threat' or give the impression of 'being in control'.
4. 'Boat people' are a tiny number compared with the nearly one million approved immigrants who come here each year with visas for work or study, etc.
5. The 'dangerous boat crossings' would be eliminated immediately if a safe alternative were available, so the 'evil gangs' would be put out of business straight away if we were to send over a fleet of buses to Calais to pick people up and process them.
6. The country needs more immigrants, not fewer, to do work, contribute their skills, earn money and pay tax.  They are also generally less of a burden on the welfare system than the indigenous population.
