Well, for those whom this may concern, asylum seekers are also known as refugees.
Among all 44 highly industrialized nations USA has the highest number of prospective asylum seekers (83,400), total number of asylum seekers for Europe were 355,500 and Australia and New Zealand had 16,100 applications for asylum. According to Refugee Council of Australia there are a total of 9,37,000 asylum seekers in the world.

they are either known as refugees or asylum seekers
While both asylum seekers and refugees flee their countries, they do so for different reasons. A refugee is displaced by war or violence due to political unrest. An asylum seeker is somebody who is being pursued by the law and seeks protection in another country.
Australia is legally bound to respect International obligations to respect human rights of asylum seekers and refugees. However, of late Australia has a changed stance towards refugees. There have been a campaign and advertisements in print media in which prospective asylum seekers and refugees are warned that they will not be able to enter Australia if they try to enter illegally. There have been reports that some asylum seekers were given a boat and told to navigate all the way back to Indonesia.
Asylum seekers and refugees move due to safety concerns such as persecution, violence, or conflict in their home country. They are often forced to flee in search of protection and a better life for themselves and their families.
they mainly come from afganistan!
if you are asking which detention camp most asylum seekers come too in Australia, most of them are sent to the massive detention camp on Christmas Island. If they manage to convince the government that their story is true, then they can live here, and then they are called refugees

Asylum seekers come to Australia either because they have a war in their country or they have been threatened in one way or another!!
