        they're asylum seekers; that's not illegal. ChicagoIrish 2:04pm · 11/1/18
        
        They are migrants, not asylum seekers. That distinction changes their legal status. NedoftheHill 3:01pm · 11/1/18
        
        76% of the asylum seekers in the April caravan passed our first test of having a "credible fear." LanceHarbor 3:07pm · 11/1/18
