Don't they need to hire a bunch of people as asylum officers and what kind of people would apply for those jobs? It sounds good but also not so good... And not to be Negative Nelly but 100,000 Ukranians just walk past all the brown and black folks that have been waiting months and years?? Your thoughts??
(1) I will be very interested to see if/how USCIS responds to the possibility of processing so many more asylum applications. Theoretically they could scale up, but *will* they, and will they do it in time to meet incoming apps? I'm skeptical.
(2) I'm also frustrated with how Ukrainian refugees are being welcomed compared to how Black/Brown refugees have been dehumanized. This is structural racism on display.
Does this mean that those whose asylum claim isn't approved of by USCIS don't get a chance to appeal that decision and go before an immigration judge? Is it only a one shot process now?

Great questions.

Nothing has changed as far as I can tell about the process of a denial from USCIS going to an immigration judge. I was worried about this as well.
