"The Sensenbrenner bill instantly turns millions of people into felons."

Aliens illegally within our borders are guilty of a federal offense.

Does federal law even have a threshold such as misdemeanor vs felony?

That is a flat out lie. The Congress cannot pass an ex post facto law which means that the illegals who crossed the border before its passage would be guilty of a misdemeanor not a felony. It is the illegal aliens who illegally cross the border after its enactment who will be felons.
