If you have a legitimate asylum claim, then why would you skip through several other countries to get to the US and not apply for asylum in the first safe country you are let into? Plus, those countries tend to speak the same language the asylum claimant does, so integration into the local culture will be much smoother.
And what exactly is causing this sudden rise in asylum claims, because as far as I'm aware there is no war going on in Central America, no authoritarian governments killing specific groups or anything. It really looks like someone has instructed the people down there how to abuse the asylum process so they can sneak into the US. So changing to rule in order to stop people from gaming the system makes sense.
Also, we have gangs in the US, with several areas rife with violence, so that is not a legitimate reason for asylum, otherwise people from the US could use it to get into Canada.
