The next step is to figure out how this figure compares to similar countries (have a look at how it compares to other countries around the world - you may be astounded).1,183 people have arrived by boats (those who have been accounted for) since the 7th of May.
It's anyone's guess how many may have died along the way .
We need to get this sorted

Then think about the number a signatory of refugee act (UK) should be taking and what mechanisms are in place to take them.
To be honest, I don't know what these are at the moment so would be interesting to know what you find out. What I do know is that this kind of information is never included when discussing the asylum seeker 'problem'.
