Is seeking asylum legal?
Yes, seeking asylum is legal. Asylum seekers must be in the U.S. or at a port of entry (an airport or an official land crossing) to request the opportunity to apply for asylum.
"There’s no way to ask for a visa in advance for the purpose of seeking asylum,” says Byrne. “You just have to show up.”
However, since June 4th, 2024, an executive order on the border and its amendment of September 30th, has curbed the legal right to seek asylum.
