The article i found on NBCs website explains the process of being an asylum seeker and the difference between asylum seekers and refugees. First off, the difference between refugees and asylum seekers is small but it does make a difference. Refugees are people that get approved by the United States to be refugees, they usually are facing or trying to escape persecution weather it be for skin color, race, political background, etc. Asylum Seekers are people that are moving locations in order to escape war, poverty, famine, etc. In order to be eligible, Asylum Seekers must apply for asylum in the U.S. a year before they plan on moving. This news article doesn’t seem to be biased. The content given in the article seems to be mostly informative. They give facts on what a refugee is, what an asylum seeker is, how many refugees are reported to come into the U.S., the most popular areas where they come from, and information on how an asylum seeker can become a citizen.
