Crossing the border illegally is still a felony - just because they were caught and remember to say "asylum" doesn't make it go away.
Either this goes to SCOTUS and they rule that everyone (felons, et al) can own otherwise they still can't legally posses.
My guess is that Dems/liberals (but I repeat myself) want them own guns hoping
A) there's a backlash that allows for new restrictions, and/or
B) they commit (more) crimes and there's a backlash for new restrictions
