Asylum

          In class today, we learned about what an asylum was in terms of migration and I'm still really confused as to what it is. When Mr. Schick first mentioned this word, all I could think of is American Horror Story because of their asylum chapter. It was very quickly brought to my attention that we weren't talking about American Horror Story which honestly made me kind of sad. We then proceeded to watch a podcast about what the asylum is. From what I understood about the podcast is that the asylum is when the nation is deciding whether or not to accept immigrants who have some sort of hardship back in their home country. The hardship has to be pretty significant and the whole purpose of this is to completely remove them from the issue. I am not entirely sure if this is correct but I think that with my information gathered, I have a decent understanding.
