    You are literally agreeing with that statement. They said yes, the person had to cross over, yes they’re on soil, but they clearly presented themself at an entry point, not just being randomly found somewhere, so the obvious answer to ‘no we don’t want you here’ is to tell someone to turn around, not detain them.

      I am not.

      They said:

      Somebody requests entry to a country and has to step onto that country’s soil in order to be processed.

      There is no “requests entry to a country”.

      You cross into the country, then talk to their customs/border people, after you’re already in their country

      I’d say it’s not that complicated, but, well, here we are
