One aspect of how clear it is, is that you must present yourself at a port of entry ,,in order to ask for asylum. You cannot just sneak into this country and then claim Asylum.
So she thinks this law is so clear but she clearly misunderstands one key aspect of the law , which she allegedly understands so clearly.

I’ll play Devil’s Advocate on this one. Even if one must follow some sort of procedure to get onto US soil, can someone legally be deported back to their “problem country” simply for not following that procedure? Now I know how I would answer (if I were the sole authority on the matter). I would say “yes” you can be deported. Furthermore, I would never claim that anyone from a “problem” country” has an inalienable right to come and remain here. But do current asylum laws create an unassailable right once someone reaches US soil?
Excellent question. As a practical matter, these people are not being deported , so it seems like by default they’re being allowed to stay in this country.
