of refugees and stateless persons 27 now makes a list of allegedly safe countries which respect political rights and principles of liberty if the demander of asylum comes from such a country the

as safe countries benin cape verde ghana mali mauritius island india senegal mongolia georgia ukraine bosnia and croatia it reduced in six months by about 80 the number of applicants from these countries the second list passed in july 2006 included tanzania madagascar niger albania and macedonia 28 while restricted the right of political asylum has been conserved in france amid various anti

law in accordance with international law the united states considers asylum candidates on the basis of persecution or fear they will be persecuted on account of race religion nationality and or membership in a particular social group or political opinion 37 every year the president of the united states specifies a number of legally defined refugees who are granted refugee status outside the united states to be admitted to the country under 8 u s c 1157 38 of these many are recommended for firm resettlement by the offices of the unhcr around the world the annual number of refugees admitted varies from year to year and is determined by a joint collaboration between the incumbent presidential administration and congress by contrast the united states does not enforce any such quota for asylum seekers rather the annual number of asylum grants is dependent upon a combination of how many individuals submit applications and how many individuals are able to successfully prove their asylum claim 39 according to us law individuals are eligible for asylum status based on the following conditions 37 meet the definition of refugee are already inside the united states are seeking admission at a port of entry there are two main types of asylum an applicant can request under us law affirmative asylum and defensive asylum to apply for affirmative asylum applicants must be

defensive asylum is typically filed by individuals seeking to request a defense against removal or deportation from the united states the primary distinction between these two processes is whether

us immigration law including the us citizenship immigration services uscis immigration customs enforcement ice and customs border protection cfb asylum applications are handled by the uscis 43 despite this concerns have been raised with the us asylum and refugee determination processes according to whom a recent empirical analysis by three legal scholars described the us asylum process as a game of refugee roulette that is to say that the outcome of asylum determinations depends in large part on the personality of the particular adjudicator to whom an application is randomly assigned rather than on the merits of the case the very low numbers of iraqi refugees accepted between 2003 and 2007 exemplifies concerns about the united states refugee processes the foreign policy association reported that perhaps the most perplexing component of the iraq refugee crisis has been the inability for the us to absorb more iraqis following the 2003 invasion of the country to date when the us has granted fewer than 800 iraqis refugee status just 133 in 2007 by contrast the us granted asylum to more than 100 000 vietnamese refugees during the vietnam war refugee and asylum policy advocates have called
