@4thTimeLucky,
We actually have a huge asylum problem. Seekers flow in from Haiti, Cuba, Morocco, China, India, Africa, and quite a few other nations and states.
I'm not sure why you don't hear about them in the major media. It might be related to the way we treat immigrants in general--both legal and illegal (peek above a few posts). Cubans, for example, have to contend with us stomping their economy into the ground, castigating their political structure and leaders, and forcing the ones who attempt to leave their "rogue" state back into the sea.
The sheer numbers of people seeking asylum and their origins may also implicate our foreign policies--another possible reason it isn't featured too often.
