If the burglar kicked in your door, then yes, it was a violent entry.

But if you left the door unlocked, or if the burglar picked your lock and entered with damaging the door, then the entry and the crime were not violent.

In the case of an illegal who seeks to settle the land by looting it, yes, it is in fact terrorism.

Ask a cop whether burglary is a crime of violence. Burglary is a very dangerous, if not violent crime. Was the home/edifice occupied? How do you know? Was the burglar armed, with anything?

An especially high number of burglaries turn into violent confrontations between the burglar and the occupant and the occupant generally loses unless he/she/they is/are armed.

From my perspective, I don’t really give a shit how you define it. You’re not a US citizen and you’re a criminal - violent or otherwise, you’re outta here.
