Summary:

When asylum seekers arrive in the United States, they are detained until they can be seen by an immigration official or a judge (Meiland, 2019).

Then, the decision of that person’s future livelihood rests on the discretion of one person’s interpretation of the law and of the individual’s story, often resulting in disparities. 

Research suggests that the disparities in the asylum-seeking system are based on individual interpretations and biases about the asylum seeker.
