The United States registered record-high asylum applications during the final year of the Biden administration, accounting for more than half of all filings across developed nations, according to a new report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The OECD’s annual migration report, released on Nov. 3, said that asylum applications to member countries—which include the United States—continued to increase in 2024 and were the highest on record, with 3.1 million new claims, a 13 percent increase from the prior year.
“The surge was driven by the United States, which alone registered an estimated 1.7 million asylum applications,” the report states.
