The latest DHS figures (Nov. 2018) claim that 91% of asylum seekers from Central America that go through the process do not qualify for asylum. And that 31 % don't show up for their court date. And that 40% who pass their initial review don't even file an application.

The greatest percentage of asylum seekers by country is from China. There are asylum seekers from around the world. Did your earlier DOJ figures include asylum seekers only from Central America or from all countries?
