IF A PERSON IS FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY AND COMMITS A FELONY IN THE UNITED STATES AND IS NOT A CITIZEN, THEY ARE AUTOMATICALLY ELIGIBLE FOR DEPORTATION.  HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF RELATIONS WITH CUBA AND US, CAN A PERSON FROM CUBA WHO COMMITS A FELONY IN THE US AND IS SENTENCED TO DEPORTATION, ACTUALLY BE DEPORTED BACK TO CUBA.  I AM MARRIED TO SUCH A PERSON WITH TWO CHILDREN.  I HAVE HEARD RECENTLY THAT CUBA IS TAKING DEPORTEES BACK. IS THIS TRUE?

They have in the past.  I believe it was in the 1980's when Castro put some of the worst criminals and the mentally ill on boats and sent them to the US on a "leave Cuba without being shot" type of day.  The US was waiting to deport them when the prisoners rioted in Atlanta and someplace in Mississippi I think.  Bottom line is, he can and probably will get deported, or else, spend a good chunk of time in Federal Prison.

That's a loaded question. Illegal immigrants of all races are deported. Mexicans and Americans of Mexican descent are not targeted. A lot of the illegal immigrants that come through do happen to come from Mexico.

I agree 100%. However, citizenship cannot be awarded to those who have entered illegally. That is the problem. My grandparents came in through ports of entry in Baltimore and Boston. They were able to obtain citizenship because they came into this country in the correct manner. Those coming in underground, etc. cannot be given citizenship. In fact, they should legally be deported back to their own country.

This is a real problem. If you are in the country illegally and you apply for citizenship you may be deported and told to apply from outside the US. Then you misdemeanor will come out and you may be classified as an undesirable. If you are arrested in the US say at a worksite, etc. you will be deported and since you were found in the country as an illegal will not be granted a visa.\nYou need to talk to a good immigration lawyer to get his advice on how to proceed. There may be some way to apply for an exemption but you need to see what to do before anything happens.

yes being here illegally is a crime. like u have a point on "just and liberty for all" but you dont always have to come here illegally. its not like people are going around searching to take someone back to mexico but if the police or watever find out they may send you back or just fine you BIG TIME

The U.S. has declared several amnesties (the largest one was in 1986, and was a blanket amnesty for anyone who had been living here since 1982) for non-citizens illegally living here.  The first Superman comic was in 1938, so it's safe to say he's been here since before 1982.  \n\nThat means he's a citizen and doesn't need a green card.\n\nBesides, how could we deport him?  Ask nicely?

The cubans have what is called the 'dry foot rule'.  If we catch them before they make it to land we send them back.  If they make one foot onto u.s. soil, they get amnesty because they come from a communist country and we don't send people back to communist cuba if they are seeking refuge.

You should certainly check that out; I understand that many ex-convicts have obtained law degrees and made careers in the legal field, as lawyers, private investigators, parole officers, sometimes even as cops.  Restrictions vary by state.  Your felony conviction will remain on your record (as you know) but it is not necessarily an impediment.  Good luck.

If a person has no identification papers they are held as a "john doe", and until they can run a finger print confirming their identity through Interpol they can not release them into the U.S or put them back into Mexico unless they have Mexican ID. what is their Salvadorian nationals or Hondurans.  Anyway after some check on wants and warrant the person is identified.  If they haven't committed any other crime except trying to cross the border illegally, which is a US crime in and of itself, they will deport the person back to their place of origin (birth).  If they have committed a crime that prosecution is mandatory then the end up getting a prison sentence anyway and then get deported.

Be born in America. The hospital will give you the papers necessary.\nAs to your question, he/she cant get one, they are then illegal after their time has expired to legally be here, after that time, they become vermin, and it's deportation day!

Federal offence "on your record"? Meaning that you've been convicted of a federal felony? No, it should not be illegal unless you're still under travel restrictions from probation or supervised release.  \nNow, if you're fleeing from justice, and/or if you travel under an assumed name, that might be a whole different kettle of fish.

No one in the USA, citizen, or not is allowed to bring Cuban cigars onto USA soil. The penalty is 50,000. per cigar, if you get caught in the USA, with them, due to the embargo against Cuba. I discovered this during a cruise, by a US Customs official. We could smoke them while on the ship, and encouraged to attend the cocktails, and Cohibas party the night before arriving to dock. It was a cruise to remember. Several people were detained, their bags open, and dogs working the contents, once we docked. I suspect that if only cigars were found, they would be confiscated. I took no chances.

At this point I believe it is a crime but a misdemeanor, rather than a felony.  It is commonly dealt with by fines to employers and immediate deportation.\n\nFrom what I see on news reports since the demonstrations, however, that is shifting to jail time prosecution.  Staying in limbo under current law isn't where you want to be.  \n\nThe current House Bill would make it a felony, but I think they are intending that to apply to coyotes.  Congressmen have already been saying they are flexible on that point going into discussions of how to blend the Senate Bill with the House Bill.\n\nIn any event, when laws are passed there is very often a 'grandfathering' provision so that people who committed an act before the law was effective can get the old penalty.\n\nAs a practical matter, I think qualified people already here will be given some sort of legal path to stay, assuming people are comfortable that the border will be secured.  I think any felony provision will only apply going forward, or to gang types or terrorists who are not offered the legal path.\n\nHowever, I think the provision will be dropped as to regular people.  I wouldn't mind if it were kept for coyotes, though.

I think you might of misunderstood.  I have never heard of a country deporting it's own citizens. Not recently, anyway.  England deported a bunch of it's prisoners and they formed what is now modern day Australia.  But that was a while back.  \n\nI am curious to find out if you are right though.  I can't imagine another country would accept them.\n\nAnd if they are deported to the US that doesn't make sense.  That would be like giving someone a bag of apples to punish them for stealing apples.

Odds are he will never become an US citizen. \n\nBut that said, the best thing for him to do is clean up his record the best he can. That would mean helping the police anyway he can. And if he's lucky, and he's cleaned up his act and helped the police, maybe the judge will take pity on him, but don't count on it. \n\nOtherwise he'll have to go back to Mexico and start going through the immigration process.\n\nPersonally I don't think he really the type of person we need here. He's broken a few laws, got deported then it sound like he crossed back illegally. By his actions he has already shown he doesn't want to be a law abiding citizen.

No....Mexico sends the people that they don't want to the United States...and Cuba allows their undesirables to go to Mexico. I think it is poetic justice. \nDo unto others as you would have them do unto you...

If he was deport, you need to visit him.  He can't return unless allowed by law.
