Isn’t it a felony to re-enter the country after being deported?
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' felony is." (cough)
Sure it is. But it will never be prosecuted because the illegal always volunteers to self deport to avoid prosecution.
And the court to keep things rolling right along, says great, here’s a bus/plane ticket and the process starts all over again.
They all come back.
