Less than 1%: asylum seekers on the US-Mexico border receive it less and less

U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration policy is forcing asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while their cases are being processed, effectively eliminating some of the immigration. Writes about this The Hill.

A new immigration policy aimed at reducing the number of asylum seekers has proven extremely effective. Since September 2019, only 0,1 percent of asylum applications have been granted.

U.S. asylum policy was significantly changed in 2018. New Migrant Protection Protocols (MPPs), better known as Stay in Mexico, require asylum-seekers whose cases are pending before immigration courts to spend time before their trial in Mexico.

Experts say that politics has made it almost impossible to obtain asylum in the United States for immigrants from Central America.

As of September, out of 47 people who applied to the MPP, approximately 000 decisions were made. Of these, 9 cases received expulsion warrants, and 500 cases were dismissed. Only 5% (085 cases) of all satisfied in favor of the applicant.

In fiscal 2016, 20 people received asylum, which is about 455% of 28 applications, writes National Immigration Forum.

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approved 11 asylum applications in fiscal 729, representing just over 2016% of the 10 asylum applications filed with the agency. This is 115% less than the 399 approved asylum applications filed in fiscal year 34.

In fiscal year 2016, 8 people were granted asylum by decision of the immigration court or the Immigration Appeals Board, which is 726% more compared to 7 cases in fiscal year 8.

In fiscal year 2017, as instability continued in Central America, immigration courts tried more than 30 asylum cases, which is significantly more than the approximately 000 asylum cases that were reviewed in fiscal year 22.

However, the failure rate increased, rising to 61,8% in fiscal year 2017, compared with 56,5% in fiscal year 2016. And in 2011, the failure rate was 44,5%.

On the subject: 5 Ways to Get US Citizenship Most Immigrants Don't Know About

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a policy adviser for the American Immigration Council, says part of the reason these numbers are so low is because some of the original 47 asylum seekers — Reuchlin-Melnick estimates between 000 and 8 — their affairs were reversed, many because of crimes on the border.

“We have no idea who falls into which category. Nobody is tracking it,” he said, adding that government statistics may be inaccurate as U.S. Customs and Border Protection recently said it accidentally doubled the data on immigrants in one report.

Even if an immigrant is not denied asylum, it can take several months. A man named Brian was waiting for a decision for more than a year, in the end, the prospect of spending even more time at the border made him give up.

Reichlin-Melnik believes that Brian’s case is not accidental, saying that “MPP creates barriers to people's access to the legal system.”

All immigrants arriving at the southern border and seeking asylum are subject to the MPP, with the exception of unaccompanied minors, persons with physical or mental health problems, persons with a criminal background, Mexican citizens who have been tortured or harassed in their home country on the basis of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or belonging to a particular social group.

“MPP has created a humanitarian disaster at the border and undermines the rule of law,” Reichlin-Melnick says.

In defense of this practice, representatives on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security state that the Stay in Mexico policy does not allow immigrants to apply for asylum on a false basis and that only legal applications can be processed.
