Trivially, anyone who was blocked from immigrating and later died to an oppressive government would fit that claim. That does not obligate the U.S. to accept every single citizen from every single oppressive government in the world.
I would argue that asylum claims should simply be folded into extra quotas within the skilled immigration system. It looks a lot more defensible if one can say 'well this person would have qualified to come here anyway, so we'll just make sure no lottery blocks that.'

Rather than 'this person came from a country where people regularly chop each other's limbs off with machetes and the average person has a 4th grade education but hey maybe they might be a good taxi driver for your wife some night'.
