Illegal status


Apparently, not having documentation is not in itself a crime-

being here if you're undocumented is not a crime, it's a civil offense.

But entering illegally is a crime (in comments)-

However, it’s also important to distinguish between "unlawful presence" and "unlawful entry". 
An undocumented immigrant who entered the United States improperly would have committed a crime, a misdemeanor.

So the  the deportation of undocumented aliens with no criminal behavior should require proof of criminal behavior... one that the Trump administration is not honoring.
