>but that doesn't make them legal.
Your reading comprehension is terrible, I said over and over again I never implied they are legal. I said they have LEGAL PROTECTION from immediate deportation for breaking a law (crossing the border). Asylum overrides immediate deportation.
>The ONLY thing preventing someone from rapid deportation, which is allowed and done by DHS, as an asylum seeker, is a credible threat hearing where the asylum seeker can prove that he is under credible threat of death if he returns, which is like a 10 day reprieve or whatever.
No shit, that's how Asylum works lol. That's when the protection from deportation rolls in. There is such thing as expeditated removal which I said earlier and those who fail a credible fear interview do get immediately removed but those who are given a later trial are given legal protection from removal even if they did break the law. The way trump found a loophole in this, was the fact that they could wait outside of the US, in Mexico, before getting a trial but that only works because they had an agreement with Mexico. Now they don't, so trump can't physically remove them, just cuz they came here illegally. Idk what your point is, I'm going by precedent, which is why trump is only currently deporting illegals with a lengthy crime sheet. Is your point that they don't get legal protections from deportation? Because majority do, and won't be deported unless trump changes the laws drastically.
