I'll certainly grant your point #2 - but it would still take some time for determination of claims made in France.
If the UK had taken up that offer, would it have stopped the boat people? I suspect not. They can be across the channel on a boat in a couple of hours rather than a couple of months.
The whole point here is that the boat people do not need to come to the UK.

My argument is founded on 3 of the points.
What you seem to be saying is that the UK should not accept asylum seekers at all which is unacceptable for a G7 nation.
