The Russian government doesn't need to send false asylum applicants to get spies into the US. What the fuck kinda spying is an asylum applicant gonna do, anyway? Report on the color of the wallpaper at the local ICE office?

You do know the goal is eventually to be allowed in the US and allowed to participate in society right?

Also, real life isn't a Hollywood movie. It's not usually just 1 spy that gets stuff done. They pass materials through layers to try and obscure who actually stole something before delivery to the government they are spying for. Even a fake asylum seeker could play a road in helping a government.
