I doubt his statement was that nuanced.

It wasn't. That's the point. He's objecting to the idea of a border deal generally, not any specific term or provision.

And has also being said, they're illegals who know exactly how to game the system. Come on.

They're not "gaming the system." As noted above between a third and forty percent of asylum applications are granted. That's an astonishingly high win rate for folks who are (for the most part) poor and not represented by private counsel. These aren't specious claims that invariably get thrown out - they're legitimate and substantive.

Plus, again, even if you think they're "gaming" the system they're still not illegals. Even if something is legal only under a loophole or a technicality, it's still legal. Which, again, is why Trump's and Biden's efforts to adopt administrative rules to change the legal status of asylees were thrown out by the courts.
