8 US Code 1325 states that anyone caught entering illegally is subject to charges. The thing with the undocumented immigrants in the US who are here right now is that their alleged criminal acts are usually years and years ago and nearly impossible to prove in a court of law. that is why they're out there demanding immigration reform. Illegal presence is enough reason why the government can deport somebody who's in the country, in any case.
