Each year the Border Patrol apprehends hundreds of thousands of aliens who flagrantly violate our nation's laws by unlawfully crossing U.S. borders. Such illegal entry is a misdemeanor, and, if repeated after being deported, becomes punishable as a felony.
The illegal alien population is composed of those who illegally enter the country (referred to as "entry without inspection — EWI") in violation of the immigration law, and others enter legally and then stay illegally (referred to as overstayers). The immigration authorities currently estimate that two-thirds to three-fifths of all illegal immigrants are EWIs and the remainder is overstayers. Both types of illegal immigrants are deportable under Immigration and Nationality Act Section 237 (a)(1)(B) which says: "Any alien who is present in the United States in violation of this Act or any other law of the United States is deportable."
Illegal Immigration is a Crime 2013
BUT are they "criminals"?
NO! Not until they are repeatedly deported as it says above it becomes a felony.
BUT do all "illegal immigrants" commit criminal acts?
NO and Trump and MOST of us in favor of at least reducing the number of people that
come across the border illegally because a LARGE portion of the criminal activity, i.e. drug smuggling, kidnaping, murders is done by people that have illegally immigrated to the US.
The "sanctuary cities are NOT helping but hurting the majority of "illegal immigrants" because criminals such as the 5 time deported illegal that killed San Francisco' Kate Seinle are definitely hurting the efforts to solve the illegal immigration problem.
