To claim asylum, they have to be fleeing persecution based on things like political views and religion. So they legally can’t be granted asylum.

Still don’t understand how it works I am shocked

Just to help you out ! migrants can claim what ever they want to claim

Only those who pass a credible fear interview are referred back to USCIS for a separate “asylum merits interview.” At this interview, which is supposed to occur within 21-45 days of the credible fear interview, the asylum officer will determine whether or not to grant the person asylum.

That’s the law
