How doctors can help fix the broken US asylum system

Summary

Asylum seekers are people who ask the protection granted by a nation to leave their native country as political refugees to flee persecution.

They will take on violence or be tortured. Faintly, they left their country, though, they couldn't have evidence that were documents or videos. It’s difficult to be granted protection.

The speaker is a physician. He tried to document their medical evidence with lawyers. He created a case that a person was granted asylum.

the speaker suggests that there are many people who can be helped if the US asylum system changes. Children are also taken on violence by parents and the case will apply to them. For that, doctors and lawyers can cooperate. Now, a lot of people ask the protection granted.
