In international law, when you're life is in danger, you don't necessarily have to follow typical border protocols. If you are from a dangerous country, and you present yourself in a dangerous country, you can claim asylum there.
People just looking for work will generally lie low, people who want asylum will generally present themselves to the authorities.

Also technically you can interpret the refugee treaties very narrowly, so that almost no one would be approved... Japan and South Korea do this, they honestly could care less if the person they're deporting will immediately get beheaded once they're back in the country they came from. Western judges are usually a lot more sympathetic though.

There's a difference between a refugee and an asylee.
A person who requests asylum in the United States is called an asylee. A person who requests protection while still outside the U.S., and then is given permission to enter the U.S. as a refugee, is called a refugee.

They don’t care about the kids or they wouldn’t be enticing their parents to take their kids on a dangerous trek where, if they are LUCKY, the worst thing that will happen is the kids are housed and FED three meals a day while their parents are detained in a separate facility.
Let me say it again just to make myself clear. They don’t care about the kids. What they care about is beating Trump and they think this issue serves them to that end.
They think.

The best alternative is to request asylum from an officer at the point of entry.
A person who is already in the U.S. unlawfully but has not yet been discovered and placed in removal proceedings can submit what's called an affirmative asylum application.
If a person illegally in the US is already in removal proceedings, they can submit the application to an immigration court judge.
Asylees have the right to remain in the U.S. indefinitely.
They can apply for a work permit as soon as their asylum is approved, but not while they're still in the asylum application process, except in rare circumstances.
A year after approval for asylee status, they can apply for U.S. permanent resident status (green card). Four years after that, they can apply for U.S. citizenship.
