No, illegal entry (8 U.S.C. § 1325) is always a criminal offense, not a civil matter.

Here’s what actually happens in practice and why low-information people like @domer76 get confused:
  1. First-time illegal entry is prosecuted as a misdemeanor in federal court.
    • Since 2005, under Operation Streamline (used in most border sectors), virtually every adult caught crossing between the ports is criminally prosecuted for § 1325.
    • They appear before a federal magistrate the next day or two, plead guilty en masse (sometimes 70 people at a time), and usually get time served (1–5 days) plus immediate removal.
    • In FY 2024, Border Patrol referred over 740,000 people for § 1325 prosecutions. That’s criminal, not civil.
  2. Illegal presence / overstaying a visa (8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(9)(B) or (C)) is civil, not criminal.
    This is the part people mix up. Simply being in the U.S. without status is not a crime; it triggers civil deportation proceedings in immigration court (Form I-862, Notice to Appear).
  3. Re-entry after deportation (8 U.S.C. § 1326) is a felony (up to 2 years normally, up to 20 years with aggravating factors). That’s also criminal, handled in federal district court.
Bottom line:
  • Crossing the border illegally → criminal misdemeanor (and almost always prosecuted).
  • Already being here illegally → civil violation (handled by immigration judges, not criminal courts).
So no, illegal entry itself is not treated as a civil matter.

Do some research before you bloviate, @domer76.

That's true, if and only if, some illegal's only crime was illegal entry. If they got a job but couldn't legally work, felony. If they used someone else's identity to get it, felony. If they didn't pay taxes to avoid being caught, felony. If they had a prior illegal entry and deportation, felony.

Don't downplay the seriousness here. Most illegals have committed multiple crimes related to their being in the country illegally.

I suggest you stop being one.

Would you want to be a resident of NYC right now? Or be comfortable if a relative lived there? Would you want Mandami to be mayor of your city? Just asking..

House Republicans cited the Constitution's "Insurrection Clause" as the reason for preventing Mamdani from becoming mayor.

The 14th Amendment bars anyone from office who "engaged" in insurrection or rebellion" or who has "given aid and comfort to the
"enemies" of the nation. The group argues that Mamdani's own statements calling to resist ICE could violate the prohibition.

Poor stupid, fearful, despreate, unAmerican MAGATs. The only elected person who needs to be removed due to violating that clause is your #MalignantMessiah.

They are seeking ways to remove him because they're terrified of the possibility of America turning Communist.

Not a possibiilty, though. They're also terrified that some of his ideas might attract citizens who don't live in NYC. Because more than anything else, they want the rich to stay that way. And the poor, too.

You are the one flinging out the "if's." It is rare that someone illegally in the US other than being caught in the act of crossing the border for the first time has only done that act. Once in the US, they are going to get a job (illegal). They need a way to do that and identity theft is a common one. They will go on to commit other crimes as well in support of their staying in the US illegally. They have to in order to survive there.

So, the "if" scenario is yours, that they only committed a minor misdemeanor in entering the US illegally.

Find those “ifs”, bitch. I’ll wait.

Illegals having jobs is a net gain for the economy. No “ifs” about it, Jethro. There is no separate penalty for seeking or gaining employment.

Illegals commit crimes at a lower rate than the total population.

As usual, you stand on thin ice or are floundering in the water, dumbfuck. Too stupid to recognize the lies your cult keeps circulating.

No, they commit crimes starting with 100% being illegally in the US (a crime). They go to prison at roughly three times the rate of legal citizens and legal immigrants too (based on statistics from Texas and the federal prison system where they are counted separately).

Right back at ya, given you never even bother to use any actual facts and just parrot whatever the Left and their MSM excusers and propagandists tell you.

Find my “ifs”, bitch. Quote them. Post them.

You’re willfully ignorant on illegals and the economy. No surprise there.

I see your desperation in trying to twist the crime stats. You are also ignorant of how justice is delivered in this country. It’s more a matter of the haves and have nots. That’s well documented and has been the case for decades. Plus, you have to selectively use that racist and backward state, Texas, as your example.

The Center for Immigration Studies is an anti-immigration organization. That’s like depending on the tobacco industry telling you how smoking is good for you.

The remittance issue is totally separate from the value of immigrant work to this economy.

You’re just plain fucking stupid, cultist.

I posted lots of documentation and numbers backing my claims. You post nothing but rhetoric and Leftist propaganda talking points without a shred of evidence to back anything up.
