That's a very narrow read and you are wrong. Stop being so close minded and selfish.
No it's just the Dictionary definition and how it's defined by law.
a·sy·lum seek·er/əˈsīləm sēːkər/Learn to pronouncenoun
- a person who has left their home country as a political refugee and is seeking asylum in another.
I know leftist like to argue against definitions now but this is getting tiresome.
I don't know why you're bothering with copying and pasting from a dictionary: we already know that these people were asylum seekers and that they were granted asylum. So therefore whatever narrow definition of an asylum seeker is in your head is very and obviously clearly incorrect.
Just accept reality. I don't understand how conservatives are capable of simply rejecting the reality in front of their eyes. It's so bizarre.
Coming from someone who is literally rejecting reality. Coming across a border for better financial opportunity does not make you an Asylum seeker.
But again I'm talking to someone that thinks gender is a spectrum and can be chosen at will so this is a waste of time.
Dude, you can google this. It would take you all of ten minutes of searching and reading. Venezuelans in-country were granted temporary protected status back in January of 2021, and it was later extended this year. Here's just one of the memorandums you can read were you inclined to actually seek the truth:

Here's another:
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/03/09/2021-04951/designation-of-venezuela-for-temporary-protected-status-and-implementation-of-employment
I could go on, there are more memorandums and executive orders regarding Venezuelans being granted asylum as they fled Nicolas Maduro's brutal regime. Or I could point to the actual cases being handled by pro bono lawyers right now proving that some were granted humanitarian parole. Or here's an article explaining the situation in Venezuela in case you live under a rock or only get your information from Fox News or annoying grifters on YouTube:
https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/03/09/us-temporary-protection-venezuelans
So again, just accept reality. I set you on the path, you can look the rest up yourself, so please stop calling these people illegals. If they were from like Croatia or Slovenia or someplace we all know you would not care and would be championing their right to be here. You're not fooling anyone.
