You don’t need to sneak into the country and THEN request asylum. You could also drive, fly, or boat, just so long as you declare your request for asylum at the proper port of entry.
I’m not here arguing the law, or the process, this is just how it is at current, and has been in flux for decades. The problem is that the more people don’t follow these procedures, the more the anti-immigration lobby gets their point made and succeeds in all the fear mongering tactics they employ.
Well, first you have to have an appointment for a point of entry, and in the US you could wait weeks, if not months for that date. But, think what you must.
No. As the link says, anyone requesting asylum at a point of entry will not be turned away. Before you start spouting equally as ignorant shit about the process, get informed. You’re just as idiotic as the bigoted assholes on the other side of your argument. Be better than that.
There are ports of entry specifically for this purpose. https://www.rescue.org/article/it-legal-cross-us-border-seek-asylum
