    Asylum Denials Hit Record High in FY2018

    Asylum Denials Hit Record High in FY2018

    Published: Tue, Dec 4th 2018 @ 11:20 am EST

    Immigration judges denied asylum claims at a record rate in FY2018, according to a new report from Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) that tracks immigration court cases.

    According to the report, judges rejected 65% of claims between Oct. 1, 2017 and Sept. 30, 2018 and denied 78.6% of claims entered by individuals from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala.


    The asylum denial rate has increased by more than 50% since FY2012 when 42% of asylum claims were rejected by immigration judges. The increase is due, in part, to changes the Obama administration made to the initial stage of the asylum process when an alien states that they have a credible fear of returning to their home country. The Trump administration strengthened the credible fear standard earlier this year.

    The report also shows that immigration judges have increased the speed in which they handle asylum claims. Just three years ago, immigration judges handled fewer than 20,000 asylum cases, but they issued rulings in more than 42,000 cases in FY2018.

    In order to receive asylum, an alien present in the United States must be able to prove that they fear persecution from their governments on the basis of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or particular social group.

    Many aliens who attempt to claim asylum, including those inthe migrant caravan located at the U.S.-Mexico border, are economic migrantswho don't qualify for asylum.

    I don't believe the 35% they approved were actually eligible. If they describe their situations publicly, I'm quite sure most Americans would claim "foul, that's phooey, deny".

    The whole program needs to be terminated. There should be no more than 2 thousand asylum cases approved per year. Even that is a large number given the status of the world because there are many other countries they should be applying for closer to them than the United States.

    We're just being duped and taken advantage. It's nice to see the Judges denying at a higher rate, but it's really irrelevant because the numbers and volumes are so much higher.

    END ALL ASYLUM NOW. It's all a scam.
