most of these people were guilty of. A reminder that a person's mere presence in the US without proper documentation is NOT a criminal offense but a civil offense. Likewise, the vast majority of traffic offenses (like speeding or running a red light) are not criminal offenses either, but civil offenses as well. It appears to me that the vast majority of these so-called "criminals" have not committed any crimes, just civil offenses.
