Asylum is a human right, that doesn't mean everyone can successfully claim it!

It means everyone has a right to put in a claim to asylum and have it assessed properly by the authorities.

> There is no right to freely cross borders.

In some circumstances, yes there is.

If there's a war in country A, and non-combatants flee to neighbouring country B out of genuine necessity for safety, yes that border crossing is widely regarded as a human right.

It derives from the basic right to life.

Doesn't mean country B will respect it.

Most countries do, although there is a difference between immigrant and refugee. Immigrant can be you Saudi Prince with billions in the bank. Somehow they never have problems of not being let in anywhere.

Immigrant have no right to just live in another country, refugees fleeing war have that right as long as the danger remains.
