Original Note:
Note not needed. The Supreme Court confirmed in 2012 that merely being present in the US illegally is not a criminal offense. It is a civil infraction, just as the original post says. "As a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain in the United States." https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/567/387/
