Asylum Seekers
Asylum seekers
are people who are in the US, or at received at a point of entry into the
US who cannot or will not return to their country of origin due to fear of
persecution. Like refugees, the fear of persecution must be based on the
asylee’s race, nationality, political opinions or membership in a
particular social group. Asylum seekers undergo the process of
legalization while in the US.
