Illegal entry, by itself, is not even a misdemeanor. But illegal aliens typically break numerous other laws to obtain employment and evade detection: https://cis.org/Report/Myth-Otherwise-LawAbiding-Illegal-Alien https://cis.org/Report/Myth-Otherwise-LawAbiding-Illegal-Ali.... E.g. using false identification to evade eVerify probably can be charged as a felony under 18 USC 1028 or 18 USC 1001. I’d you work with a smuggler or cartel to gain entry, you can be charged with felonies under conspiracy laws. And nobody complies with 8 USC 1302, which requires aliens to register. That’s punishable by up to six months in prison. Ordinary speeding can’t carry jail time at least here in Maryland.
