Infographics

June 2021 – In light of World Refugee Day, Alianza Americas published a series of infographics that illustrate a deep-dive into the harsh realities facing asylum seekers and the conditions that have forced so many people to leave their home countries and seek safety. The data analyzed is from 2018, 2019, and 2020 and indicates that the U.S. and Mexico can and should do more to address the crisis of asylum seekers in the U.S.-Mexico-Central America corridor. Respect for people’s human rights and dignity must be central to the protection that can and must be provided to people seeking protection.

Share the latest DACA updates with your community here! What do the latest DACA decisions mean? DACA’s future is uncertain. On October 5, 2022, an appeals court upheld a ruling by a Texas judge: that DACA is illegal. However, the program will continue for now — this was upheld by an October 14 decision by that same Texas judge, who ruled that DACA can remain in place, but with limitations (for example, no new applicants).

In December 2022 alone, there were 1,566,000 pending asylum cases in the United States. In the framework of World Refugee Day, which is commemorated every June 20, Alianza Americas developed a series of infographics that reflect the most important challenges facing the asylum or refugee system. Specifically, we illustrate three areas of concern: 1) the high volume of pending cases in the most powerful country in the world, both for unauthorized and authorized entrants; 2) the increase in the number of cases before immigration judges, without an increase in state response or changes in immigration procedures, generating a significant delay in the resolution of pending cases; 3) the contrast between the rates of granting and denial of asylum for Latin American nationalities. These graphs invite us to reflect on the urgent administrative and legislative reforms that the asylum system needs in order to offer humanitarian protection, and to respond in an agile and fair manner to the reasons that force people to leave their countries.‍
