What is the standard for withholding deportation for an illegal immigrant who fails to demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Samanian v. I.N.S., 21 F.3d 1115 (9th Cir. 1994):
The well-founded fear of persecution standard for asylum is less stringent than the clear probability of persecution standard for withholding of deportation. Diaz-Escobar v. INS, 782 F.2d 1488, 1492 (9th Cir.1986). Therefore, if an alien fails to demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution, the inquiry need proceed no further because "a fortiori, [the alien] would have failed to meet the ... standard of clear probability of persecution."
