Canada made female genital mutilation a basis for asylum. Since that time. two women have been granted asylum for that reason. So for us to think this is going to open the floodgates for people seeking asylum on that basis. it will not happen. Remember. most of the people upon whom this procedure is performed are little girls. So we do not have to fear a wave of immigrants coming and claiming this as a basis for their coming here. But the United States must take a stand and speak out against this horrid practice. We must make it illegal and recognize it as basis for asylum.
