Is there a number of required asylums that a country must authorize? 1 million, 3 million, or a percent of the population? Is there a legal requirement? What must each one of them be given? How much funds and toiletry items?

Problem is people take advantage and exploit the asylum system in this country. Wanting to come here just to work and improve your quality of life is a very good reason, but it does not qualify for asylum. Coming into this country illegally and demanding your "rights" is a slap in the face to all the immigrants who are respecting our laws and country and going about it legally.

No limits on asylum seekers, but current limits on those granted refugee status is -

“Since World War II, more refugees have found homes in the U.S. than any other nation and more than two million refugees have arrived in the U.S. since 1980. In the years 2005 through 2007, the number of asylum seekers accepted into the U.S. was about 40,000 per year. There is nothing that I know of that state’s minimum care for asylee’s, since most countries don’t offer all the protection we do.

No country HAS to take in or authorize asylum seekers. Most do however take in some. The US currently sets a maximum threshold but there is no minimum.

This is the estimated cost of resettling refugees and climbing. Along with another problem.

At present, the United Nations estimates that there are approximately 65.3 million people who have been forcibly displaced from their homes by conflict or persecution. Many of those people will seek refuge in the developed countries of the West, including the United States.
