News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Fed rulings vary widely on asylum

WASHINGTON - Immigration judges vary sharply in their willingness to grant asylum to foreigners seeking to live in the United States, with denial rates ranging from 10 percent to more than 98 percent, said researchers who reviewed U.S. figures.

A person seeking asylum in the United States is far more likely to face rejection if the case is decided by Judge Mahlon Hanson in Miami than by some other judges in the system, a study released today said.

The study is based on data from the Executive Office for Immigration Review, a Justice Department agency that oversees immigration courts. The figures are from 1994-99 and 2000-05.

The report was done by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, which collects and analyzes federal government data.
