Do not confuse crimes not being inforced as not crimes. Your ilk once defended illegal border crossing because a previous administration treated them as minor misdemeanors. Today, it is a deportable offense. Overstaying a visa is a crime, although a crime not enforced by a previous administration, a crime nonetheless.
8 U.S.C. § 1325 and punishable by deportation. Everything else in your post is leftist Wolf Blitzer CNN propaganda.
Okay
Section 1325 sets forth criminal offenses relating to (1) improper entry into the United States by an alien.
Undocumented immigrants are generally not charged with crimes solely for their immigration status. The act of being in the U.S. without proper documentation is considered a civil offense, not a criminal one, and the penalty is deportation, not incarceration. However, there are specific circumstances where unauthorized entry or reentry after a previous removal order can lead to criminal charges
Sorry but an AI overview doesn't override the DOJ as a source in this matter.
According to U.S. Code § 1325 and the US Department of Justice and even AI overview, it is a crime.
What is the source of that?
?
The civil penalty for being in this country unlawfully is deportation, or removal, which the U.S. Supreme Court has held is not “criminal punishment.”
When they return after being deported they are charged with a crime.
You did not quote this part.

does not correspond with U.S. Code § 1325 according to what court? I have seen multiple sources so far that show it to be a civil infraction and no one has shown me any data other then this single reference showing not to be. No one is charged with a crime and it is treated as a civil issue not a criminal infraction.

Walking down the street after breaking into a house is not illegal either. But you can still be arrested for breaking into the housedoes not correspond with U.S. Code § 1325 according to what court?

For example:
Reality check: There is no law making it a crime to live in the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant. Instead, the law treats it as a civil violation.
The act of being present in the United States in violation of the immigration laws is not, standing alone, a crime. While federal immigration law does criminalize some actions that may be related to undocumented presence in the United States, undocumented presence alone is not a violation of federal criminal law
Being present in the United States without legal documentation is in itself not a crime. Though some of the ways of entering the US may be considered federal crimes, the act of being here without legal documentation is not considered a federal crime.
