Remaining illegally in the country is not a crime. It’s a civil offense. It does not make someone a criminal.

Don’t be an asshat.

You used the very word "illegally". It's a crime.

No, it's a tort. A crime is a criminal offense. A tort is a civil offense. Both are illegal, meaning against the law, but whether that is civil or criminal law is the distinction.

Unless you use the word criminal for people who jaywalk (the same level of ‘crime’ as illegal immigration: a misdemeanor) then you’re being selective about which misdemeanors make you a criminal. Which is suspect.
