There were 667,000 visa overstays in 2018, down about 5 percent from 2017

Bribery, not 'vulnerability', may be the key to America for some
New analysis looks at corruption in the refugee resettlement process at the UN refugee agency and highlights the likely subjectivity of the agency's national staff when it comes to making resettlement referrals.
