      you saying I’m misunderstanding something doesn’t make it true.

      As it stands there’s 2 situation in which imigration could lead to criminal charges- one is re-entering after deportation. This really doesn’t happen. The other is entering at a place or time not designated. This also really doesn’t happen. (The people crossing the border are being “caught” by Border Patrol officers because they sit down and wait to be caught, and then invoke their right to seek asylum. something which is legal.)

      neither of these are happening. Immigration court isn’t even able to try a criminal case, because immigration law is not criminal law.
