Entering the country illegally is a crime under federal law, not civil. Remaining in the country after your legal immigration status is up is a civil issue, but deportation is a lawful response.
Why do you think people should get to stay in a country illegally? I’m genuinely curious.
Do you think a person should be seperated from thier families, put into prison, subjected to violence, and sent to a country they've never been to for a misdemeanor?
Because thats a criminal misdemeanor, not civil like immigration. But you dont care do you? You got yours..
