First, illegal aliens are not currently criminals. They have committed a misdemeanor civil offense under current law by entering or remaining in the United States once their visas expire, but the House-passed immigration bill would automatically make these offenses criminal felonies.

I thought that you might be interested to know that if an illegal alien sneaks into the US again after having been deported, they have committed a felony under current US law.
