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.

Nope, that’s not it, they’ve explicitly changed their behaviour to stay inside the law. It’s what the article is about, how asylum seekers are adapting their behaviour to fit inside the new changes to the safe third country agreent.
