families from El Salvador and Guatemala qualify for asylum per the requirements which are as follows;

“Asylum has three basic requirements. First, an asylum applicant must establish that he or she fears persecution in their home country.[3] Second, the applicant must prove that he or she would be persecuted on account of one of five protected grounds: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or particular social group. Third, an applicant must establish that the government is either involved in the persecution, or unable to control the conduct of private actors.”

While I have no doubt El Salvador and Guatemala are dangerous places, people are not generally being persecuted for one of the 5 protected grounds
