This is what the people of America are appalled at. that we will not deal with the issue. There is a balance to be struck between granting asylum to those who are qualified and preventing this countrys traditional hospitality being taken advantage of in a most extraordinary way. Remember. when you have 9.304 cases from Mexicoand a case can be more than one personhow many of those asylum claimants from Mexico were granted asylum? There were 5555 out of 9.304. If that is not gimmickry of the system. I am missing something. It means that oneseventh of our asylum applicants. even under the new provisions. are almost guaranteed to be bogus or fraudulent. I hope that our colleagues will hear that as we go to the eventual vote on that. Of the first four major countries of asylum casesGuatemala. Mexico. China. and Indiathe final approval rate is 2 percent2 percent of these people that we have heard these poignant. powerful stories about.
