That's title 8 section 1325 of the US Code therefore all violators of this code are in fact Felons and therefore subject to citizen arrest.

Wrong. I'll take the word of Marine Inspector on this one, he works for the INS (and is on our side in this matter). Illegal entry is an administrative offense subject to deportation. Attempted illegal re-entry may be classified as a felony, but someone watching illegal entry has no way of determining this, therefore they cannot claim that they were witnessing a felony in progress and make a citizens arrest. Probably the best thing to do is to try and get the border states to revise their statutes to include illegal entry as an offense subject to citizens arrest.

I've been busy for quite some time, too busy to pay attention to the border but I thought that any violation of federal law was a felony. And even if they are treating it as administrative it is still a felony right?
