Yes - I would love to know how a citizen effectuates an arrest for a misdemeanor?

In general, the citizen must witness the misdemeanor being committed.

In the case of illegal immigration, the citizen would have to see the guy cross the border illegally.

Now, if you saw a person cross the border, in the middle of the desert, how do you know he's committed a crime?
