What is asylum?

Asylum is a way for people to stay in the U.S. if they are in danger in their home country. To get asylum, a person must prove that they are in danger in their country for one of these reasons:

Their race (skin color or ethnic group); OR
Their religion; OR
They lived in a country where they were not born; OR
What they believe about the government in their country; OR
Being part of a certain group, like LGBTQ+ people or some other groups in danger.

Asylum is not for people just looking for a better life or escaping poverty—it's only for those who are truly in danger because of who they are or what they believe.
