Current policy was "to mistreat them at borders" out of sight of most Europeans, he said.

"Do you know what a mother or father has to go through to put their six-year-old or seven-year-old son in a (small wooden boat) with 200 or more people they don't know and throw them into the open sea at night?" he asked.
