    18 Part VIII of Chapter 12 of the INA sets forth various penalties relating to unlawful entry, including criminal penalties on an alien who unlawfully enters the United States, 8 U.S.C. § 1325, as well as several provisions targeting those who assist in an alien’s unlawful entry. See 8 U.S.C. § 1323 (penalizing persons for unlawfully bringing aliens into the United States); 8 U.S.C. § 1324 (penalizing persons for bringing in or harboring certain aliens); 8 U.S.C. § 1327 (penalizing persons who assist certain inadmissible aliens to enter the country); 8 U.S.C. § 1328 (penalizing the importation of aliens for immoral purposes). Collectively, the structure of these provisions demonstrates that Congress has fully occupied the field of regulating the terms and conditions of an alien’s entry, and that this field includes penalties on third parties who assist or aid in that entry.
