The Asylumist is a blog about political asylum in the United States. We hope it will serve as a forum for discussion about the law, policy, and politics of asylum. We hope to hear from different people involved in the asylum process: asylum seekers, lawyers and advocates, academics, policy-types, health professionals, and activists. We hope this website contributes to a better understanding of the asylum system in the United States.
