Original Note:
The current mechanism of asylum seeking where an alien physically present in the United States can apply for asylum, irrespective of immigration status, was created by section 208 of the Refuge Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96–212). It is not a new phenomenon. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-94/pdf/STATUTE-94-Pg102.pdf#page=4
