“Nearly 9 Out of 10 Asylum Claims End in Removal” -Tom Homan Breaks Down the Reality

Tom Homan is sounding the alarm on what he calls the real numbers behind the border crisis. According to Homan, the majority of people showing up at the southern border and saying the word “asylum” aren’t actually running from government persecution the way the law was written. They’re coming for jobs, money, and a chance at a better life understandable motives, but not grounds for asylum under U.S. law. “Nearly 9 out of 10 people who claim asylum, get an order of removal, because they simply don’t qualify for asylum. They’re not escaping fear and persecution in their homeland.” He adds: “They’re coming here for a better life, and I get that, but that’s not asylum.”
