It's Not Illegal?

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D.-Fla.), chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, says Republicans want illegal immigration to be a crime. See the details in this CNSNews.com article.

The article has me asking myself, "Isn't illegal immigration a crime?" I've always thought it was a federal crime. Shouldn't illegals acquire a criminal record before being sent home?

A criminal record, as evidence of moral turpitude, would preclude a later application for citizenship. Repeat offenders should do some jail time.
