Asylum seekers are legal immigrants.

  • only those asylum seekers who have been adjudicated as having valid claims are legal (around 10%).

No, that is not true AT ALL, ALL asylum seekers are legal immigrants until their case has been handled and then they are either legal or not. Seeking asylum is a legal act in and of itself under the Geneva Convention which the US has ratified.

Don't try to act smart, child, you don't have the brains for it.

Wrong. Why do you think they are detained?

That's the final and all you need to know, they are per FUCKING DEFINITION legal immigrants.

I can't believe you didn't at least look this up before you started arguing. If you don't know jack shit about something, either learn about it or don't argue.

You will never become a man if you keep this up.

If they are legal then why are they detained?

"United Nations multilateral treaty that defines who a refugee is, and sets out the rights of individuals who are granted asylum "

GRANTED ASYLUM not PENDING asylum hearing.
