I am not familiar with USA laws there, but don't you need a
compelling reason for asylum to be granted after you ask for
it? The whole purpose of asylum is to offer protection to people
who is being chased by regimes that don't respect human rights
very much.

I would expect that if I crossed a border without invitation
and requested asylum, they would ask me why I want it. I would
also expect that if I told that the Great Leader of some
communist regime wanted to imprison me because I wrote an ugly
article about he, I would be granted asylum. What I am not sure
I would get is asylum for being poor or unemployed in my country
of origin.
