TL would you explain something to me ? From what i can make up from the article, this womens asylum request is in the process of being setteled. Why are you calling her an Illegal immigrant ? Correct me if i'm wrong and have missread your words but it sounds like you do. Anyway, if her case is still to be decided, she isn't an illegal immigrant. [/QUOTE]She is technically an illegal immigrant the moment she steps off a plane without a visa. A request for "asylum" can be made by an illegal immigrant if they can prove that they would be persecuted in their home country. At that point, they would become legal. However, that determination is not finalized. One judge ruled, and so long as that judge is upheld on appeal, the decision will be final and she will have asylum. Ultimately this will lead to visas and a green card. Maybe ultimately citizenship.
