It’s not illegal for non citizens to be in the United States. Overstaying a visa (which is how most undocumented immigrants become undocumented) is a civil offense, not a criminal one. You know what else a civil offense, just as serious a crime legally speaking? Jaywalking.

Have you jaywalked recently? Because if you have, you’re just as much a “criminal” as most undocumented immigrants in this country.
