They still have to go through the legal process for claiming refugee status. They aren't doing that, and our borders are not closed,They have crossed the border in order to claim refugee status, and that makes them refugees. That is the law. They cannot claim refugee status from outside the country, and if your border is closed, there is no legal way for them to come in.
THEY ARE ILLEGALS!
No matter what you think....THEY ARE ILLEGALS
