obviously you are not familiar with US immigration law or very misinformed. First time border jumping-EWI entry without inspection can be punished as either a civil or criminal offense or both.
18 USC 1325
(a) Improper time or place; avoidance of examination or inspection; misrepresentation and concealment of facts Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) 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, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.
(b) Improper time or place; civil penaltiesAny alien who is apprehended while entering (or attempting to enter) the United States at a time or place other than as designated by immigration officers shall be subject to a civil penalty of— (1) at least $50 and not more than $250 for each such entry (or attempted entry); or (2) twice the amount specified in paragraph (1) in the case of an alien who has been previously subject to a civil penalty under this subsection. Civil penalties under this subsection are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any criminal or other civil penalties that may be imposed.
Re: “Obviously you are not familiar with US immigration law or very misinformed.”
I was quoting U.S. Senate testimony from the Great Immigration Debate of 2005-2007.
Has the law been changed? Not that I am aware of.
What percentage of first time border jumpers - without any other aggravating circumstances - are being criminally prosecuted by the Trump Administration?
My estimate?
Zero.
