But illegally immigrating is not. Two different acts.

That’s why there are two different words, which are neither synonyms nor euphemisms, this story is about asylum, features stories about individuals seeking asylum and your attempt to confound the two didn’t work.

Except here, they explicitly closed the border and illegally immigrated anyway.
