Holding
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, an alien “arrives in the United States” for purposes of 8 U. S. C. §§1158(a)(1) and 1225(a) only when the alien crosses the border into the United States; the INA neither entitles an alien standing at the border in Mexico to apply for asylum nor requires an immigration officer to inspect him.
