At least worse than every other viable, prosperous country that’s travelled through that won’t torture and kill them and / or is better than where they originated. Race to the bottom type stuff.
The govt. will tell you that a lot of folks are not being tortured or killed; they want a better life and see entry to Europe as a means of achieving it, and that this has generated a criminal infrastructure at scale that is comfortable with deaths at sea.
The issue with this is they need to make our asylum system worse than being tortured and killed.
