Of course, the total illegal immigrant population probably fell during the Obama administration as mortality, deportations, and emigration exceeded illegal immigration, but the rate of decline was quite gradual, and the number of illegal immigrants remains large.
While steadily deporting illegal residents may be justified as a policy, especially when focused on illegal residents who have committed other crimes, it may have the unintended side effect of boosting gross illegal inflows, even as the aggregate number of illegal U.S. residents shrinks.
Asylum has become increasingly controversial in the United States and Europe as a growing share of foreign citizens attempt to claim asylum, raising questions over whether this once-modestly-sized migration program faces abuse and misuse.
As you can see, asylum claims have risen in recent years for all origins, but especially for Latin American origins.
While once these countries were a minority of claims of asylum, in 2016, the most recent available data, they were a substantial majority.
The United States rejects the vast majority of asylum claims from these countries.
The number of actual grants of asylum by the United States has not risen in recent years from its usual 20-25,000 per year range, according to the UN. We have not become much more willing to offer asylum.
