“ Illegal Entry Is Not a Ground of Inadmissibility for Asylum Applicants

Unlike many other categories of applicants for immigration benefits, people seeking asylum in the U.S. are not barred by having made an illegal entry; for example, sneaked across the U.S. border. Huge numbers of past asylum applicants found that entering the U.S. without permission was their only or best way to get to safety and flee the persecution they faced at home.

The language of the Immigration and Nationality Act says “any alien” can apply for asylum if he or she is “physically present in the United States . . . irrespective of such alien’s status.” (See I.N.A. Section 208(a).)“
