Actually the standard practice is to immediately turn themselves into police or border officials. As such, they're not crossing illegally.
The problem is that thanks to an agreement with the US, they can't turn themselves in at official border crossings and still get their refugee claim heard.
That was OK until recently; they could claim refugee status in the US. But not any more now that white nationalists control the US government.

A lot them were rejected by the US govt. for various reasons and with many of them that occurred during the Obama administration, and the Bush and Clinton administrations....
One guy that came across last winter had lived in the US for seventeen years.
I have no problem with the govt. accepting actual refugees from Syria or from war and earthquake ravaged countries like Haiti but many of those coming here are economic migrants with no skills who just end up being a burden on society. As some of you get older and wiser and start to pay a shitload of taxes you'll begin to understand that we can't help everyone.
