1 I am using here the statistics of “affirmative applications” filed with INS asylum offices, based largely on the Immigration and Naturalization Service 2002 Statistical Yearbook, supplemented by 2003 figures derived from the website of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services. Some additional cases are filed solely as “defensive applications” before immigration judges, but the databases do not distinguish those from cases referred to immigration court after initial consideration by an asylum officer.
