United States Second Circuit

In an immigration matter brought by Chinese nationals who asserted a fear of future persecution, specifically, forced sterilization, if removed to China based on their having fathered or given birth to more than one child, petitions for review of decision of Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying relief from removal are denied where: 1) there was no legal error in the evidentiary framework employed; and 2) because substantial evidence supported the BIA's findings that each of the petitioners failed to demonstrate that his or her stated fears of persecution on return to China were objectively reasonable.
