Do you think progressives understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration? (reddthat.com)

I've seen so much confusion between the two, at first I thought it was trolls, but it's so consistent that I've begun to wonder if they actually don't understand.

Hey cow boy. Progressives are generally more educated and aware, so yes. Meanwhile, most conservatives don’t understand the difference between, for example, asylum and undocumented border crossings; or that “encounters” doesn’t mean “entries”; or that coming on a vacation visa from South Africa or eastern Europe and starting a business or doing modeling work is illegal.

Illegally immigrating and then seeking asylum afterwards is still illegal immigration. You're just trying a hail Mary when you got caught.

And we're aware that's violating your visa is illegal, it's no where near as prevalent as illegal border crossings.

Asylum is legally considered part of the removal process for illegal immigrants. Assuming this occurs before they're caught, why would you kick them out when they're following the process?
