According to Justice Department data, the majority of immigrants claiming ‘credible fear’ back home that are seeking asylum in the U.S do not actually file for it once they are released into the country. New immigrants “gamed” the system so much during the Obama Administration that deportation orders increased 1,350%.

Asylum claims from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador rose 892% from 2012 to 2017. Since 2006, 53% of all claims never ended up filling filed an asylum application, because the immigrants got what they wanted, free entry into the U.S. 65% of pending cases originated from credible fear have never resulted in an asylum applications.

Usually claims are made by immigrants coming though established border crossing areas, but the data shows a massive surge in those crossing the U.S. border illegally trying to claim asylum. If these people are truly afraid for their lives why are they not taking asylum in places that are a lot closer like Mexico, Nicaragua, Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, or other places? Because Obama's policies created an irresistible opportunity for them. Now ICE is stuck cleaning up the mess and removing these tens of thousands of families and kids who never should have been allowed in to begin with.
