I understood from previous posts from Bajo Cero that Argentina does not consider it "illegal" but instead "irregular" for Argentines to cross in this way. Maybe he can elaborate?Assuming no contraband whatsoever, simply entry to the country without passing through a legal entry point. What legal exposure does that carry?
Normally we talk about illegal entry in the context of someone who isn’t allowed to be in the country. What if that’s moot - citizens and legal residents - and it is only the entry itself that is illegal?
Note that raft crossings etc. are dangerous and people do die trying to cross this border, including children. Not to mention risk of robbery or assault.
It is worth pointing out that foreigners who are caught from time to time do get returned to sender.

La Policía evitó el ingreso de más de 150 extranjeros en el límite con Bolivia
Intentaban ingresar de forma ilegal a Salta por Aguas Blancas, cruzando el río Bermejo. El operativo de retorno fue coordinado con la Policía Naval boliviana que operó en su territorio identificando a los infractores. Quedaron a disposición de la fuerza local del vecino país.

If successful in such a crossing, I would personally imagine that this would only cause real headaches beyond just fines for temporary or non residents later wanting to officialise something, like renew or apply for residency or exit the country legally without being given the third degree to identify the UFO they flew in on...
