I never said it confers citizenship. But it does give them the right to seek asylum. And the coyotes teach them what they need to say to get a court hearing.

Like, “I’m seeking asylum from my gov’t who is abusing my basic human rights”

You said that stepping foot on US soil makes them US persons. It does not. As you said above, they can claim asylum after illegally entering, but even that is subject to legal interpretation.

I've read here today, that aliens seeking asylum are supposed to do so at the American consulate in their own country, not at our border.

Bottom line - the President has it within his power to suspend all grants of asylum for those doing so at our border.
