Original Note:
A valid claim of asylum by a foreigner cannot be made at border locations that are not legal ports of entry. According to USCIS asylum seekers must be in the US or at a port of entry (an airport or an official land crossing) to request the opportunity to apply for asylum. https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/refugees-and-asylum/asylum/obtaining-asylum-in-the-united-states https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/05/16/2023-10146/circumvention-of-lawful-pathways
