However, I am in favour of a deal with France that stops the boats but enrols UK in a European wide asylum share programme. The problem with the programme will be the calculations of fair shares and what degree of say we have in rules formulation.
Finally, we have to be vigilant. 750 millions (or whatever) from Africa could be eyeing up Europe and the UK especially. What then?

We help deal with the issues that are forcing them to migrate/claim asylum instead of being increasingly insular?
The main reason we have a decent overseas aid budget was for stability in other countries, which is in our interest. Climate change will also be a massive driver to immigration, but we don't really deal with that either. Always short termism, looking no further than the next election.
