What federal statute do I cite if I want to make a citizens arrest for unlawful entry...

...into the United States? If it ever comes up, I need to know what to tell local law enforcement when I call for their assistance. Here in California, it's obvious they won't have a clue unless I tell them.

No Jon J., I am not Dirty Harry and I would not attempt an apprehension myself. Please read the question again.

Do you think you're capable of actually answering it?

I understand that most illegal aliens are "desperate people who just want to make a living" but one in ten American Citizens right now are also desperate to make a living and we don't have 12 million fruit pickers here from Mexico. If they went home, lots of different types of jobs would open up. All of the construction trades are loaded with illegals today, from framers to roofers, plumbers, drywallers, etc... Those jobs used to pay fairly well, remember?
