It Is Illegal to Sneak into the United States After All

At least, if you're a US citizen.

One of the complaints that liberals like to air is that it is not correct to call them "illegal aliens" because it's not really illegal to sneak in to the US.  Except it is, at least if you actually belong here:

American fined $5,000 for border jump with bike
U.S. Border Patrol agents slapped a $5,000 fine on an American citizen this week for slipping into the United States from Canada on a mountain bike, the agency announced Wednesday.

The 40-year-old American and his 44-year-old Canadian companion were nabbed Sunday near Houlton, Maine, after allegedly biking across the border south of Notre Dame, Canada, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

A Border Patrol agent spotted the two men at about 2:30 p.m. with mountain bikes on a dirt road near the border. After questioning the suspects, the agent arrested them for illegally crossing the border.

Each was fined $5,000, said CBP.

If the same penalty was applied to American’s estimated 11 million illegal immigrations, the federal government could collect $55 billion.
