Asylum seekers can send home: USCIS has released a new manual

“The crisis at our southern border continues to be serious,” begins a message sent to employees USCIS on asylum issues regarding asylum and internal relocation.

“Every day, USCIS faces an unprecedented number of aliens overwhelming our asylum system, many of whom are ineligible for asylum and attempting to enter and remain in the country in violation of our laws,” it said.

The manual explains the current rules and policies that already apply to the internal movement of foreigners in their home country.

The acting director of USCIS reminds its staff that violence does not cover the entire territory of the countries of the Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala).

“I am writing to remind you of the importance of assessing a person’s ability to safely move to another part of their country,” the appeal reads.

This is an important regulatory factor when considering asylum applications and definitions of the reasonableness of applicants' fear, the manual says.

“Faced with evidence of domestic violence, you need to consider whether internal displacement is possible. 8 CFR 208.13(b)(3) provides that the factors judges must consider include, but are not limited to: “whether the applicant will suffer other serious harm at the location of the transfer; ongoing civil unrest in the country; administrative, economic or judicial infrastructure; geographical restrictions; and social and cultural constraints such as age, gender, health and social and family connections."

Often there are situations on the southern border where individuals undertaking expensive and dangerous international travel do not need it if they look for safe areas that exist in each of their home countries.

Asylum officers must collect evidence to determine if an immigrant tried to move to any safe areas of his country before traveling to the United States. And if not, he will most likely be denied asylum and deported.
