Hi! Your friendly immigration lawyer here, with some important clarity on the law.
Simply being undocumented is not a crime. There is a federal misdemeanor crime of "Improper entry" under 8 U.S.C. § 1325, but that crime only applies to individuals who cross the border illegally. If you come on a visa and then overstay that visa (estimated to be around 40-50% of all undocumented immigrants), then it is definitively not criminal to remain in the United States. This is because it's not a crime to be undocumented; it's a civil violation of immigration law only.
I like to explain it this way; parking in front of a fire hydrant is illegal, but it's not criminal. You cannot be arrested for parking in front of a fire hydrant, you cannot be put in jail, and the penalty is a civil traffic infraction which requires you to pay a fine. Similarly, being undocumented is not a crime. It's a civil infraction, the penalty for which is deportation.
But don't just take my word on it! The Supreme Court has been extremely clear on this point:

As a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain present in the United States.

>the penalty is a civil traffic infraction which requires you to pay a fine
And if I refuse to pay the fine? Like they refuse to leave on their own?
