What are Immigration Crimes?

In order to prevent violations of immigration regulations, Congress has passed criminal laws to punish those who violate them and deter others from similar conduct.  Besides illegally entering the United States without proper documentation or legal immigration status, there are a number of other potential immigration crimes.

The immigration crime of illegal re-entry accounts for the majority of all immigration crimes. Attempting to cross the border without the United States’ approval is a federal felony if you have been removed or deported from the U.S. An illegal re-entry conviction can result in fines and imprisonment. Additionally, illegal immigrants who have previously been convicted of crimes may be subject to more stringent laws and punishments.  Deportation due to drug-related or violent crimes may result in much higher fines and prison sentences if you attempt to reenter the U.S.

There are also cases in which U.S. citizens can be prosecuted for immigration crimes.
