The number of Salvadoran citizens residing in the United States is unknown. but estimated to be at least 60.000. Other sources suggest that the number may be as high as half a million people. In 1982. the INS granted only 65 Salvadorans political asylum and deported 2.118 to El Salvador. I find it difficult to believe that the INS can support so few petitions for extended voluntary departure. given the kind of evidence that has been presented to me. It is because I believe the evidence is so compelling that I support granting extended voluntary departure status to the Salvadorans who are in this country without proper documentation.
