STILL TRYING TO FIND DATA FROM THE U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services data ON ASYLUM APPLICATIONS

The Guardian: The most recent data from the US government’s Citizenship and Immigration Services shows that by March 2016, Venezuelans occupied the second place among nationalities submitting asylum requests to the U.S, with 1,345 applications during that month (China took the first place).

I am trying to find the data used for the following charts:

Hi there, I'm the Playfair Bot!

Would you mind posting the appropriate checklist in the main body of your issue? You might have posted it as the first comment, but it turns out it works way better in the actual body of the issue - just go up to the veeery top right and click the pencil icon to edit. You'll probably want to edit the comment to copy the checklist, then edit the original issue to paste it in.

Thanks! :pray:

It is very interesting! One thing that strikes me is that Syria is not among the countries on the graphs above. Is there a difference between asylum seekers and refugees?

skkandrach commented 8 years ago

This is so fascinating! Especially since the spike in asylum requests nearly triples!! This is a great addition to your Venezuelan beat. Contact the Pew Research Center to hopefully obtain some of this awesome data.
