Yes it is illegal \ that is unlawful.
Illegal unlawful whatever you'd like to call it.
Unlawful \ illegal means that a law has been violated.
It simply means that someone said fuck off to a law on the books.
It does NOT mean a crime has been commited.
In order for something to be a crime it must violate penal\criminal law.
To jack off round the country with an expired Visa does not touch balls with Federal criminal law. It violates civil law.
Its not a crime to park in Handicapped parking spot but it is illegal.
