Mexicans grasp for asylum

March 24, 2009 (1 min read)

"Lawyers who represent asylum-seekers point to the approximately 6,000 people killed over the past year in Mexican drug wars and worry that a failure to grant more requests will lead to more deaths. "The way our government is interpreting the law will cause people to die," said Jeff Joseph, head of a Denver immigration law firm. Among Joseph's clients is a former Mexican police officer named Jesus, who asked that his last name not be used for fear of repercussions against his family and friends still in Mexico."
