In fact out of the most populous and wealthy EU nations we comfortably accept the least.

So maybe that’s Why we don’t send them back immediately, we’ve got way more than enough capacity to deal with them. We’re talking a few hundred / a thousand a year here On boats, it’s really bugger all
Just because we have space we should accept them? They are illegal. If you were rich and someone burgled your house would you say it's OK because you can afford it?
If we don't accept people who come here legally and who try to follow the rules and comply with the requirements why should we accept people who do it illegally?
