What does it mean to be an "illegal" immigrant?
For your edification -- immigration courts are civil courts, not criminal courts. Immigration violations are not criminal violations, they are civil infractions.
I am shocked that in another question posted here, people actually expressed sentiments that inferred that it is worse to enter the US without permission than to commit a felony.
Answer:
Being illegal means you work hard to give your family a better life. I repeat An average illegal pays over 4,500 dollars in tax every year!!!!! if their were 50 million of them they would be contributing 225 billion dollars in tax every year!!!!
It means that they are ieleagaly coming into are country. and just to let you know their trying to take over.
Illegal is illegal, no matter how you sliced it, it steals from every legal American, I for one will fight it to the Death.
It means you are home free
illegal immigrants are coming into this country with out proper documentation and getting jobs and not paying taxes and we are paying for them to be here!!
It means you are a criminal.
illegal immigration is a misnomer, they should be called illegal aliens
keep getting shocked, it might wake you up
Illegal Immigration is a Crime
Under Title 8 Section 1325 of the U.S. Code, "Improper Entry by Alien," any citizen of any country other than the United States who:
Enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers; or
Eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers; or
Attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact;
has committed a federal crime.
Violations are punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment for up to six months. Repeat offenses can bring up to two years in prison. Additional civil fines may be imposed at the discretion of immigration judges, but civil fines do not negate the criminal sanctions or nature of the offense.
You are illegal if you are here in contravention of our law.
Both are equally bad.
However, crossing the border illegally is also a separate crime that subjects you to up to 6 months in jail on a first offense, if enforced.

Don't be shocked. In their hearts it is worse than a felony.
