Asylum shopping

Asylum shopping is when someone moves from one country to another because they think they can get a better decision in the next country. It's like going to different stores to find the best deal - but in this case, the stores are countries and the deals are legal rights. When someone wants to move from one country to another, they have to ask for permission from the new country. This is called asking for 'asylum'. If the new country grants them asylum, they will be allowed to stay there. So, if someone thinks they can get a better decision in a different country, they might try to go there instead - this is called 'asylum shopping'.
