Under 8 U.S.C. § 1325, illegal entry into the U.S. is a federal crime, punishable by fines or up to 6 months in prison for a first offense, and up to 2 years for subsequent offenses. The law covers entering at improper times/places, evading inspection, or using fraud. Re-entry after removal is a felony, potentially leading to much longer prison sentences, especially with previous criminal records.
