Losing social standing is implied. The options are:
Maybe you think "asylum = jail", I don't think that. Based on historical precedent, jail is more likely to lead to a shallow grave than asylum.
You are right about jail being likely to lead to a shallow grave but would you share more about what you think Asylum is like? I have lots of 1st hand experience around jails but none around asylum, I just know asylum seekers who have compared it to jail.
Asylum is living legally in a country, it ranges all the way from homelessness to a penthouse. You may be thinking of "waiting for asylum", at the equivalent of concentration camps. Not every asylum seeker has to go through that, for example people from Ukraine in the EU got a fast-tracked refugee status:

I'm not Ukranian, I can't benefit from that. HBU?
As I said:
I'm a EU citizen. Some people want to copy the US, but we're still at the "trying to stop them" phase, not at the "impending doom" phase.
