See that bolded underlined word? That's the word OR. It, like the word trespass, has a legal definition.
If you call the police when someone comes to your door, and you DO NOT ENGAGE with the person at your door, and the police show up, and they ask that person if they have a license to solicit - and that person does not - then they have ALREADY committed the crime of trespass. The "intent to commit a crime" is "soliciting without a license." That's why they showed up at your door. Two things happened here. First, they intended to solicit without a license. Then, they came to your house with that intent to commit that crime, which makes them illegal trespassers.
I mean jeez louise it's such a simple concept, think of them as illegals crossing the border, and it should make perfect sense.
