Remain in Mexico has a 0.1 percent asylum grant rate

It has been almost a year since the government began sending asylum seekers back to Mexico and only 11 people have been granted asylum. That accounts for a grant rate of less than one percent

Only 11 cases — or 0.1 percent of all completed cases — resulted in asylum being granted, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.

That 0.1 percent grant rate is significantly lower than the 20 percent of people who were granted asylum outside of the Remain in Mexico process, according to data from the Executive Office for Immigration Review.

That same data shows a 48 percent denial rate and a 30 percent “other” rate in 2018. The “other” category means that asylum cases either ended without a decision being made, or were withdrawn for some reason.

There are more than 10,000 migrants currently in Tijuana waiting to enter the United States and legally asking for asylum. Many have been there for months and on some days, none of them are allowed to enter the country. Instead of waiting, several people either cross illegally into the U.S. or turn around and go back home.
