    No one is illegal, they are undocumented seeking asylum that is provided by US law.

      Common myth. The way you’re supposed to seek asylum is to apply at a border checkpoint or at an embassy. And asking for asylum after you get caught illegally immigrating is a separate act from illegally immigrating.

        So you are supposed to do it in the first safe country. They are just illegals and not asylum seekers.
