Amid the free-for-all at the southern border, use and abuse of America’s asylum system has gotten so out of hand that even Barack Obama’s Homeland Security chief is calling foul.
Jeh Johnson told CBS’ ‘Face the Nation” last month: “It takes six years right now to process an asylum claim once someone has entered this country. And one of the problems is that the bar to qualify initially and establish a case of ‘credible fear’ is relatively low. Something like 70 percent of migrants qualify who seek it.”
But when (or if) these migrants appear in an immigration court, their odds are longer. Johnson noted that barely one in five applicants admitted into the country end up qualifying for asylum. Earlier this year, FAIR reported that 99 percent of border crossers in a “Dedicated Docket” program had invalid asylum claims.
