Oh no, at worst a civil penalty I'm clutching my pearls...and that's only for those entry without inspection. So jaywalking.

 

Undocumented presence alone isn't a crime as well.

not at worst............

- Unlawful Presence (Civil Violation): Remaining in the U.S. after a visa has expired (a common scenario for nearly half of all undocumented immigrants) is a civil infraction. This is handled through civil removal (deportation) proceedings, which do not carry criminal penalties like prison time, though they can result in being barred from re-entry for a number of years.

- Improper Entry (Crime): The act of entering or attempting to enter the U.S. at a place not designated for inspection by immigration officers is a federal misdemeanor offense.

- Re-entry After Removal (Crime): If an individual has been previously formally removed (deported) from the U.S. and then returns without authorization, that is a felony offense

Oh you know immigration is much more complicated than just that. Especially with the stories we've seen here on VJ.

yet this isn't immigration - it's often economic migration.
