While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, attorney general of the U.s., hands down In re A.B., reversing a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals that granted political asylum to a woman from El Salvador who had been abused physically, emotionally and sexually by her ex-husband:

       I do not minimize the vile abuse that the respondent reported she suffered at the hands of her ex-husband or the harrowing experiences of many other victims of domestic violence around the world.  I understand that many victims of domestic violence may seek to flee from their home countries to extricate themselves from a dire situation or to give themselves the opportunity for a better life.  But the “asylum statute is not a general hardship statute.”
