    Unlawful presence is not a crime at all - it’s a civil immigration violation.

    • If someone overstayed a visa (about 40% of undocumented people), they never committed any crime
    • Unlawful presence = civil matter handled in immigration court, not criminal court
    • No criminal penalties, just deportation/removal
