How many felonies can an ILLEGAL immigrant commit before he is sent to prison?

Obviously as many as they want to; for the rules of law do not matter to them.  Our congress says that; our President is saying that, Judges say it, so they must be special or something.  I wish I could get the same treatment regarding my desire to avoid paying taxes...darn it.

Yes, Pancha. Felonies are serious crimes. A federal offense (ie; illegal border crossing) is considered a felony.

Undocumented immigration has never been "illegal" in the United States.  There is, and has never been, any criminal penalty for being in this country without proper documentation.  The only sanction is deportation.  The individual being deported has no criminal record because there is no crime.

Dont you know it is illegal and you could go to prison. There are enough illegal immigrants coming to our shores without you adding to their numbers.

My brother works for the prison system and he said they WILL go to jail in the U.S. but eventually be deported to their country of origin. I don't know if they will be sent to another jail there or simply sent back.... sorry.

I believe it's a felony punishable by prison time. Watch "Dateline NBC" next Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m. I come from a community where 18 men were recently taken into custody for that very thing. You can see firsthand what the penalty is when they make their court appearances which will be aired next week.

If it was a felony then your done. If it was a misdemenor then you have a small chance, but usually they don't grant citizenship to criminals.

YES you are correct!. breaking the law doesnt turn you into a criminal. a criminal is someone who commits crimes on purpose and runs away from cops and stuff. immigration, in  opinon, is not a crime, theyre just looking for a better life! is there anything wrong with that?

I believe that here in the US it is three Felony convictions.  So if you were charged with three felony counts of posession, or sales, etc... then yes.

If you are an immigrant and have not become a naturalized citizen and commit a crime, you can be deported. This has been in the immigration laws since the 1880s. You're father sounds like a very ignorant bastard and so do you.

I knew of a family where the father became a US citizen ahead of his wife and children.  Do to a paperwork snafu his wife and children whose immigration attorney goofed, the wife and children were ARRESTED as illegal immigrants.  Wife and older child ended up in ICE jail for about a month.\n\nYounger child because he was under eighteen was released into the custody of his father. \n\nThe paperwork snafu was straighted out and mom and the kids are back living their lives. \n\nIf this family had been Mexican and not Russian, the mom and older child would never have ended up in ICE jail!\nMy guess, since your younger brother is still a minor he would be part of your parents' application.

Not legally, unless they have a good attorney and if they were legally here in the U.S., it doesn't sound like it though if this person was deported. What are you concerned with? If they tried coming back it won't be possible, unless this person tries many times.

Uh, thats not aggrevating an officer.  I think you are allowed to aggrevate them as much as you want, as long as you arent obstructing them.  But what you described is pretty serious, expect some jail time, before being deported.

What do I Think? \n1) Illegal is a felony \n2) Why should it be OK to cut in front of line \n\n People that do come here legally go though the process to be come a citizen usually takes 5 years. And now it should be OK to be an illegal and cut in front of all these people that didn't brake the law.

Is some stupid rule, because I know some ones broke the law go to the court and pay fines later that ones have papers, I don't understand,the illegal have more chances then legals

It depends on the what the statute states.  It could mean 3 violent felonies or just 3 felonies.  It could have time restrictions also; 3 felonies in 3 years.  Or other restrictions like 3 felony convictions vice 3 felony counts.  The statutes are different from state to state.  And yes, on the third conviction you go away for a long time, but once again this varies between the states.  It could be life or it could be 20 years.

Depends on what the crime was.  \n\nIf it was only a speeding ticket, you're okay.  First offense DUI, you should be fine.  \n\nBut if you're talking about drug trafficking, illegal immigrant trafficking, murder, etc., then forget about it.  The USCIS will deport you at the first chance.  \n\nSo, as always, it's best to consult with immigration attorneys.  The general rule (the "line") is whether that crime involves "moral turpitude."  But you may want an attorney to represent you to argue your case (or present it in the best light) in your adjustment proceedings.
