Agree with Dale, illegal immigration is a crime. I'm having trouble with the terminology--terms of art vs. common parlance. The distinction I see being made is between a civil offense and a criminal offense. Are you using "crime" to mean criminal offense as opposed to civil offense? "Question 7 of 35 in General Criminal Law Questions What is the difference between a civil offense and a crime? A civil offense is an infraction of a law that is not a crime. This may be something like a routine traffic offense such as speeding. The only penalty for a civil offense is a fine. A crime is a violation of the law that is punishable by a fine or a jail sentence. A Class Three or Class Four misdemeanor in Virginia is only punishable by a fine. These may be violations of noise ordinances or other offenses not involving injuries to other persons or their property. A Class One misdemeanor is punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine. A Class Two misdemeanors are punishable by 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Felonies are punishable by one or more years in prison and fines of up to $100,000." criminal-law.freeadvice.com
