Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼(@Noahpinion):@CameronCorduroy Good question. I'd say maybe yes. The main vector of irregular migration to America is people crossing the border illegally and turning themselves in to CBP and requesting asylum (then trying to find ways to stay). So CBP doesn't prevent this type of quasi-legal immigration.
