minus-squareidiomaddict@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoOverstaying a visa, which accounts for more immigration violations than illegal border crossings, is a civil offense. It’s incorrect to say that there’s almost no crime involved, but it’s definitely not all or most people who commit immigration violations.
