After a positive review, is asylum a right or is it still at the discretion of the President or Secretary of State?
Good question--especially at this crunch point.
Seems like it becomes a "right" to any non-American claiming asylum--but the verdict of asylum or no-asylum comes from an Immigration Court that hears each individual case.
Asylum fraud has become epidemic since the Obama administration's "catch-and-release" policy noted in the FAIR article.
Sessions' speech puts the ball pretty squarely in his court.
