Eliminate the particular social group ground for asylum
What the document says“Congress should eliminate the particular social group protected ground as vague and overbroad”

The chapter says that ground is vague and overbroad and should be eliminated, or else given a clear definition that at a minimum codifies the holding that gang violence and domestic violence are not grounds for asylum.
What the document actually says“Congress should eliminate the particular social group protected ground as vague and overbroad”

Asylum is given for five reasons. One is belonging to a certain group. Courts have argued about what that means. The book says it is too vague and should go.
