The father’s lawyer claims the father has a pending asylum claim, which doesn’t actually make him an illegal immigrant. However, he said he’d done “follow-up research” and discovered that the father was an “illegal alien.” “Are they not supposed to arrest an illegal alien in the United States of America?” asked Vance, speaking of ICE. Vance simply doesn’t think it’s a misnomer to call the father an “illegal alien,” despite his asylum claim. That’s because Vance plainly doesn’t believe those awaiting asylum adjudication are here legitimately at all.
