The Dublin Convention which the UK is leaving is the EU one which aims to "determine rapidly the Member State responsible [for an asylum claim]"and provides for the transfer of an asylum seeker to that Member State.
Bad news for them then, as under the Dublin act we would just send them back to France/ Italy/Greece etc.

Whereas after we have left it will be back to Sudan or wherever
