AG Garland Turns the Lights Out on Asylum Guidance in Matter of A-B-
One way to eliminate court backlogs is to just grant everybody relief
By Andrew R. Arthur on June 18, 2021

Attorney General (AG) Merrick Garland issued an order this week vacating AG Jeff Sessions’ June 2018 decision in Matter of A-B-, as well as a later decision in the case (with the same caption) issued in January by Acting AG Jeffrey Rosen. That order is not a terribly big surprise, but it is a harbinger of the Biden administration’s plans to significantly expand asylum protection. Granting everybody relief is one way to bring down the immigration court backlog, which has now reached 1.337 million cases.

To be granted asylum, an alien present in the United States (usually, but not always, illegally) must prove past persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.

A grant of asylum allows an alien to live and work in the United States, and to petition for other relatives to come to this country, and places the alien on a path to a green card and ultimately citizenship.

As the foregoing shows, asylum protection is supposed to be circumscribed. U.S. asylum law does not provide protection for every harm or bad thing that has happened or may happen to every national of every other foreign country.

WTF does "Matter of A-B-" even mean?
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.
