The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I certainly respect what you showed us earlier and it sounds pretty cut and dried. However, and this is the part I hope you can clarify, now that you have enlightened me, my ear perk up whenever a hear a politician or an attorney or someone saying that claiming asylum can only happen at one of the 28 Ports of Entry.

They suggest there is some other law that makes crossing between POE's a crime and anyone BC apprehends doing do is subject to immediate deportation.

Nope. In fact, when the Trump Administration tried to impose that as a requirement administratively, it got tossed out by the courts (as well as when the Biden Administration tried to adopt a similar but modified provision). Not only is crossing at a POE not required - it violates the statute for the government to impose that as a requirement administratively. You don't have to cross at a port of entry to claim asylum.
