A female Afghan-exchange student attending Decatur High School (up until this passed weekend) skipped the country and is now seeking asylum in Canada from her home country.

The AJC has details, but here’s the reason why…

“According to the Rocky Mountain News, a Syracuse University study noted that the likelihood of winning asylum in the U.S. for an immigrant is 19 percent; in Canada, it’s 40 percent to 45 percent for all nationalities, and 69 percent for Afghans.”

I believe its called playing the percentages.
