A person who applies at a US Consulate or at port of entry, prior to entering the US, is doing it legally. They are waiting in Mexico for adjudication. Those are “asylum-seekers” acting legally.Those who sneak across our borders, breaking our immigration law, and are captured in the US as trespassers without documentation, are illegal aliens, and criminals. Many are taught by activists to then claim asylum in that case, but they are still illegal aliens since they are captured in the US after entering illegally. Leftist judges are forcing the Administration to then house and feed them in detention centers, at taxpayer expense.That is the difference.Asylum seekers are by international law supposed to seek asylum in the first safe country they enter. That would be Mexico, which is offering asylum and jobs to these caravan migrants. Many have accepted, but others want to apply in the US to get better benefits. International law does not entitle refugees to “shop” for the best benefits. The first country should be the place of asylum, and Mexico is both suitable and offering. That is another reason the caravan people are not entitled to asylum in the US.EDIT: This posting is not entirely accurate, my apologies, but I have left it here because it has generated good discussion. This is a complicated topic with a great many inaccurate assertions floating around.Asylum is sanctuary based on “well-founded fear of being persecuted in the future “on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.” Congress incorporated this definition into U.S. immigration law in the Refugee Act of 1980.Notice that this definition does not include domestic violence, gang violence, government corruption, poverty, lack of education, or wanting better government and social welfare and benefits. Or even wanting to find gainful employment at higher wages, These are not grounds for asylum or preferential entry into the United States of America.In fact, 92% of US applications for asylum, using the most recent available 2016 numbers, were rejected. Most asylum applicants are in fact economic migrants, or otherwise fail to meet the standards for asylum. Out of 261,970 applications, only 20,455 were upheld.Foreign travelers who seek asylum legally, present themselves at US Ports of Entry, or apply within a year of entering the US. They are given an initial screening of “credible fear”. Those who fail are deported. This who pass are then allowed to apply for asylum, and a hearing is set with an immigration judge. Under 8 U.S. Code § 1158 paragraph C, asylum applicants can be deported to a safe third country, such as Mexico, while their cases are pending.Foreign nationals apprehended at or near the border without proper documentation are illegal aliens, and subject to expedited deportation. Those who cross into the US without documentation and legal border clearance are illegal aliens. Those who have already been deported and have returned illegally are committing a felony. They are subject to reinstatement of removal, an expedited deportation procedure. They may also claim asylum, but are subject to a different standard called “reasonable fear” of persecution or torture. Notice this does not include domestic violence or economic migration.Those forwarded to the asylum process are given a hearing date, depending on backlog. Under 8 U.S. Code § 1158 paragraph C, asylum applicants can be deported to a safe third country, such as Mexico, while their cases are pending. They are not granted legal residency even if allowed to remain in the US. If they do not appear, or their claim is denied and they don’t leave the US, then they are illegal aliens subject to deportation. The US has the right to detain asylum applicants for extended periods. They do not have an automatic right to be turned loose in the US, although under Obama’s “catch and release” policy, many thousands were. This was an incentive for more illegal immigration. In 2016, 39% of those given court dates and released, failed to show up for,their hearing.As noted, over 92% of asylum applications are rejected. Unfortunately, the asylum process is far too often abused as a vehicle to be turned loose in the US to disappear into our society as an illegal alien, rather than as a genuine protection for qualified refugees. When over 90% of applicants fail to qualify, it is clear that widespread abuse of the process is occurring.Asylum in the United States

From The Social Security Administration:Generally, SSDI recipients can't start doing "substantial gainful activity" (SGA) and continue to receive disability benefits. In a nutshell, doing SGA means you are working and making more than $1,180 per month in 2018 (or $1,970 if you're blind). There are exceptions to this rule, however. For SSDI recipients, there is a trial work period during which you can make more than the SGA amount without losing your benefits.SSDI recipients are entitled to test their ability to work and continue to receive full benefits regardless of whether they make more than the SGA amount, for a nine-month trial work period. For 2018, the SSA considers any month where a person has a monthly income of more than $850 a trial work month. If you are self-employed, any month where you work more than 80 hours (or earn more than $850) is a trial work month.Once you have completed the nine-month trial work period, for a period of 36 months, you can still receive SSDI for any month where your earnings fall below the SGA level. This is called the extended period of eligibility. In other words, if you earn less than $1,180 per month, you will get benefits, but if you earn more than $1,180 per month, you won't get disability benefits for that month.Following your trial work period, if your SSDI payments have stopped because your income is substantial, the SSA gives you five years during which your benefits can be reinstated if you again stop working because of your disability. During the five-year period, the SSA will not require you to file a new disability application to get benefits. This is called expedited reinstatement.
