Asylum claims have decreased greatly in number recently, mainly due to the government depriving them of any benefits and locking them up, though the later has probably had the largest effect, it is after all hard to work illegally either in a restuarant or picking fruit when locked up in a detention centre.
As an aside, out of a detention population of around 2500 or so, about 2400 are from Africa, why? Actually 2,400 is a bit high, it is probably around 1,000 - 1,500 - though the strange thing is they all have the same name...
