Five barriers the Honduran caravan of immigrants might find when they get to the U.S. to seek asylum By Dianne Solis |
|
Last year, about 120,000 asylum claims were filed in the immigration courts, nearly four times as many as in 2014, according to Justice Department data. Although the Syracuse-University nonprofit the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse calculates data differently than the Justice Department, it found that that 62 percent of asylum-seekers in 2017 were denied asylum. That denial rate jumps to almost 80 percent for Hondurans. |
