'Non-Meritorious' Asylum Seekers from Central America Crowd Out Legitimate Applicants
By Will Racke


Most Central American asylum seekers didn’t qualify for asylum even before Sessions moved to tighten the standards, a fact reflected in especially high denial rates for applicants from the region. Between 2012 and 2017, the asylum denial rate was 79 percent for El Salvador, 78 for Honduras and 75 percent for Guatemala, according to Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.
