Yes, there is a crime of "improper entry" under 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(1) that makes it a misdemeanor to enter the country illegally. But:

B: The statute of limitations is 5 years, and most undocumented immigrants have been here for 15+ years.

What a lie. Here's the Supreme Court in 2012 making clear that simply being in the country without permission is NOT a crime: "As a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain present in the United States."

It's a civil violation, not a crime.
