Being in a country illegally counts as stupid shit.
Define “being in this country illegally.” Do you mean:
*Entry Without Inspection (EWI): Entering the U.S. without being admitted or inspected by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at a designated port of entry, such as crossing the border unlawfully.
*Overstaying a Visa: Remaining in the U.S. beyond the expiration date of a valid visa or authorized period of stay (e.g., the date specified on the Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record) without obtaining an extension or change of status.
*Violation of Visa Terms: Engaging in activities not permitted under the terms of the visa, such as working on a tourist visa (e.g., B-2 visa), which can lead to a loss of lawful status.
*Failure to Maintain Status: Failing to comply with the conditions of a nonimmigrant status, such as not attending school as required for an F-1 student visa, resulting in unlawful presence.
*Expired Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or Deferred Action: Remaining in the U.S. after the expiration of temporary protections like TPS or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) without securing another lawful status.
*Removal Orders: Staying in the U.S. after receiving a final order of removal or deportation, unless granted a stay or other relief.
Most of these are not considered “criminal,” if that’s what you mean by illegal.
Unlawful presence can lead to deportation, ineligibility for future visas, or bars to reentry. However, unlawful presence alone does not typically trigger criminal penalties unless accompanied by other factors.
