Asylum claims fluctuate for a number of reasons year over year, so it's very difficult to predict future claims. We do believe that they will be in the thousands.
I want to provide one important clarification as well. These changes don't prevent an asylum claim, but rather apply to the claims that are deemed ineligible to be referred to the Immigration and Refugee Board. In these cases, individuals will have access to a pre-removal risk assessment, which is a robust process that considers many of the same factors.
