Unlike virtually every other immigration application, the U.S. Code explicitly allows asylum requests from anyone who is physically present in the U.S. regardless of how they entered. For almost any other immigration application, arriving outside of a port of entry and crossing the border illegally disqualifies you from the request. But not asylum. Says so right in the statute. - Albaby
