   The staggering drug-related violence, destruction, loss of lives, torture and   
   insecurity caused by the Mexican’s government, abetted by the U.S. war on   
   drugs, has inadvertently created a once-in-a-generation opportunity for   
   hundreds of thousands of    
   Mexicans who have well-founded fears of returning to Mexico because of these   
   conditions. This class of people may be eligible for asylum and thus be on the   
   path to U.S. citizenship. Asylum is granted to Mexicans with such credible   
   fear, as illustrated by    
   the newsworthy example of Jorge Luis Aguirre, a Mexican reporter. In addition,   
   the Federal Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has found that asylum could be   
   granted to a Mexican based on the Convention Against Torture (See In re   
   Guillermo Eduardo Ramirez-   
   Peyro).   
   Asylum applications carry with them many benefits, including the fact that the   
   application fees payable to the USCIS are zero dollars (compare with $1,070   
   for marriage applications). Applicants can apply for work permits within 150   
   days whether their    
   applications are accepted or not. In addition, once an application is   
   accepted, there are numerous organizations that offer assistance, whether   
   food, housing, education, or cash to the new asylees.   
   Legal minds have opined that Mexican immigrants with such credible fear of   
   returning to Mexico need to apply as soon as possible, before legislation   
   closes this loophole that may potentially enable hundreds of thousands of   
   illegal Mexicans obtain a path    
   to citizenship.   
   The Center for Mexican Asylum Services (“CMAS”), a subsidiary of the Center   
   for Immigration Services, is offering asylum document preparation services for   
   Mexicans who have a credible fear of returning to Mexico due to drug-related   
   violence, drug cartels,   
    and Mexican government’s inability to protect its citizens from drug cartels   
   violence, or all three.  CMAS offers free counseling for any person who feels   
   that might be eligible.
