'illegally enter' is the definition.

'resort with sun twice after three in sicily?' is the wordplay.
'resort with' becomes 'spa' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sun' becomes 'S' (abbreviation).
'twice' shows that letters should be duplicated.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'three in sicily?' becomes 'tre' ('three' in Italian).
's' doubled is 'ss'.
'spa'+'ss'='spass'
'spass' put after 'tre' is 'TRESPASS'.
