Were they convicted of a crime? If you're gonna be technical, you smug little shit, you technically have to be convicted of a crime to be a criminal. None of them were, so they weren't criminals.
“ If caught within 100 miles of the U.S. border, where U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") patrols, they can place you in expedited removal proceedings; in other words, deport you quickly, without a hearing.
If caught deeper within the United States, you will likely be placed into removal proceedings in immigration court and charged with being either "removable" or "inadmissible" under U.S. immigration law. Prior to the first court hearing, called a "master calendar" hearing, you should receive a Notice to Appear ("NTA"), along with charging documents and a Notice of Hearing in Removal Proceedings. These documents will state the immigration-related charges against you and the date and time to appear in immigration court. “
Though I suspect this will change soon.
That says nowhere that you become a criminal. You went to all the trouble to look it up, only for it to agree with me.
Oh I’m not arguing if they are convicted or not. It simply doesn’t matter.
