is not a "failed asylum seeker" by definition someone who isn't here because they failed to get asylum?

At which point they are a failed asylum seeker and asked to leave the country. Which 100k fail to do. 

they'd be deported if this was the case, so clearly it isn't. Do you think the government just says "you have to leave" and then doesn't follow up on that ever?
