Summary

Political Asylum Application Reform Act of 1989 - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to make certain North, Central, or South Americans who fail to apply for U.S. asylum from a safe haven country ineligible to apply for asylum in the United States. Provides for proceedings expediting the exclusion and deportation of persons who violate such asylum provision. Defines "safe haven country" as one (other than that of the aliens nationality or last habitual residence) with which the United States has consular relations.
