@digiphile@Geiger_Capital@elonmusk You are correct, it is not a criminal charge. It is a civil violation of federal immigration law to remain in the country without legal authorization. Guess what? This civil violation is punishable by civil penalties; chief among these civil penalties is deportation or removal.
@digiphile@Geiger_Capital@elonmusk Absolutely no one has a problem with immigrants, those that followed the proper procedures. Wait a second… I now see your attached image referring to undocumented immigrants. Hate to break this to you, but if you are here without documentation you are a criminal.
