What's going on at the US-Mexico border, and what are asylum and parole? Here are answers to key questions
By Sophie Carson


The asylum system is massively backlogged, with over 1.1 million pending cases. Petitioners are waiting an average of nearly four years, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, or TRAC, at Syracuse University.
