They cross they are breaking the law. The law is also clear on that. It's a catch 22. They have to report to a border crossing and wait.
Butler, let me do this gently...............
The existing congressional immigration laws and the UN Convention on Refugees both allow claims from inland. It doesn't matter that the person has snuck into the country across the tundra. Or the Arizona desert. They get to make the claim. THAT'S the law.
Trump can't change that because Congress passed a fucking law on the topic. And he can't instruct US Immigration officials to disbelieve refugee claimants who illegally entered the US on the merits of their refugee claims because it's a gross abuse of due process. It's like Trudeau telling judges that they don't believe criminals defendants if they're wearing sneakers or some irrelevant shit like that. It's nonsense. The ACLU will go bananas and be filing mandamus in every court in the States 50 times a day - and they'll win each and every case.
You're wasting everybody's time. You're just shit-shooting nonsense off the top of your head on a topic you have no concept about.
Sorry you don't like it but that's the way it works. The difference is Trump is enforcing it.
Or all those crossing wouldn't be in detention would they?
