How is it illegal?

Crossing into empty fields and not through a border post is illegal entry.

If they went to a border post, they would be sent back to the U.S because of the safe third country arrangement.

Under the Safe Third Country Agreement, persons seeking refugee protection must make a claim in the first country they arrive in (United States or Canada), unless they qualify for an exception to the Agreement. Therefore, refugee claimants arriving from the United States at the Canada–United States land border can only pursue their refugee claims in Canada if they meet an exception under the Safe Third Country Agreement.

There is an exception: They will be persecuted by the US government.

Its not illegal entry if you claim asylum upon entry into a nation or its embassy.
 
That's not an exception.

All of them are sent back the same day if they went through an actual border crossing. They cannot claim to be refugees at the border crossing

They can at the border crossing but its much more complicated. The idea is if you turn yourself in on Canadian soil then you have a higher chance of having your asylum application accepted.

At the border crossing their port of entry would be the US, and they will be taken into custody and then detention. It's much easier to enter Canada through the woods than an official border because their port of entry will not be known, they will be in Canadian soil. They will still be taken into detention though.
