First...you turn him around, point him towards Mexico (or wherever he came from) and send him back.\n\nSecond, you follow closely behind, cuz we have enough people here already.

If she has a license in another country and she was here LEGALLY she could simply apply.\n\nHave her leave the country and come back legally.\n\nState licensing rules are being toughened up because fraudulently obtained driver's licenses were used by 9.11 terrorists.\n\nBy the way, she isn't "undocumented", she is here illegally. If you want a long-term relationship with her have her get this  straightened out ASAP.

Contact the Immigrations office near you or your local police department should be able to direct you in the proper direction.  Do not get too discouraged if they do not respond very quickly as they are head over heals in backlogged work.  Illegal Aliens is a big issue with the American Public, however as with everything else we do not hire enough people to get the job done properly.  The saddest part of this is that Illegal Aliens do take American Jobs, however they are the Jobs that Americans won't take themselves and need to be done in order for our economy to work properly.  The Illegal Alien is paid less than an American would be paid and are happy to get it.  The way they are treated here in America you would think that they would be happy to be deported and get away from us.

How easy or difficult obtaining a green card can be depends greatly on a person's individual situation. Some individuals will apply for a greencard through family immigration. Employment immigration also gives people the opportunity to become a lawful permanent resident of the United States.\n\nMethods of Obtaining a Green Card\nA person can apply to become a permanent resident based on having a relative who is either a lawful permanent resident or a US citizen. The relative must first file the petition and it has to be approved. Once an immigrant visa number is available you can apply to have one assigned to you.\n\nEmployment can also allow a person to apply for a greencard. There is a multi-step process that is quite complex and can vary depending on the petitioner's qualifications, as well as which visa he or she applies for. The employer must complete a labor certification request for the applicant to be either granted or denied. \n\nObtaining a green card can also occur during the Diversity Program which is a green card lottery. This program began in 1994 and allows 50,000 new permanent residents enter the United States each year. The Diversity Program specifically allocates more visas, though randomly, to countries that have provided few immigrants to the US in recent years.\n\n\n\nUS-Immigration law is an extremely complex field where most people need the advise and services of an expert. Green Card Support Service has co-operated with a number of excellent Immigration Attorneys in the USA. We are glad to recommend and to provide you with the details of one of the best immigration lawyers in the USA. \n\nMr.\n\nClemens Pauly\n\nAttorney at law in Germany and the USA\n\nwww.cpauly.com

Its not quite so simple... they cant just pay to become a citizen. They would have to live here for a LONG time (at least 20 years) and then go through a very lengthy application process.. Its very hard for an illegal immigrant to get a green card let alone citizenship

Listen to all of these questions. don';t you notice hate? Do they know you? if you're illegal you don't have to much options. A lawyer always gets your money and never doi anything. read the government official inmigration from the country u are and don't speak to a lot of people some people can get paid to tell the police about finding an illegal. Be careul, if your religious talk to ur priest or pastor of your confidence, they always have good resources and some can recommend what to do. \nI'm illegal in a country and to tel you the truth is really hard once ur illegal. sometimes the hope is an amnesty or smth like that!!\n\nor stay here till they want me to. but don't listen to this hate people that have so much proud being americans but cant realiza they need inmigrants and they DO offer great things and their country has more discrimination and hate and they're not well received in all the countries in the wolrd. CANADIANS DO!!\n\nAnother thing might be to apply as refugee, but ask for orientation on your church or someone you trust to find infomration for you. cause some commmunity centers offer free assistance but be careful. your status is delicate.\ngood luck\n\nSo my best of luck

Giving aide to a person who is in this country illegally is a crime, it is called aiding and abetting.  There are rules that people must follow to get a green card.\n\nI am sure even the mormons would be against that.

let me tell you something, maybe this can clarify and also give you some information:\nThere is just few visas granted to each country every year, of course there is a lot of more people who want to come here but to reach that kind of visas is almost impossible.  I'm illegal, also I'm skilled worker, I have a lot of years of experience also in my specialty, I'm bilingual and I have been also on the school here.  My boss will be glad to support me with any help to get my green card but, I have to wait 5 more years and pay about $10,000.  The major problem is because you cannot do anything for yourself, is not like when you go to the DMV to pay your stickers or do a transfer, with immigration you have to hire an attorney and also have to wait for a very long process because is so many people doing the same.  I'm paying my taxes, I have my car insurance, I'm supporting my local fire department as a volunteer and also a search and rescue team. I mean, I'm doing my best here and I have no other choice like to continue on this way until something happen.  \nBefore to think negative against an illegal alien you must have to talk with few of us and understand few thing who this situation involves.  It is hard to be on the dark, but is even hard to do in the right way.  What if instead of a lot of volunteers doing bad things against illegals better go to immigration offices and offer them some help to speed up the process? couple years ago, one immigration employee sent to the trash a lot of applications just because his desk have to many jobs pending to do.  I'm also not sending any money back, and there is a lot of illegals like me who are doing a lot of good things to benefit this country.  This kind of debate is very hard since there is a lot of wrong information and wrong image about us, a lot of people just think on us like drug sellers, welfare collectors, restroom cleaners.  But we are more than that.  I agree, there is a lot of them who are doing bad things, but is like any community, if you pay attention on the movies, any movie with Young's involved also involves drugs and alcohol.  Go to Hollywood Blvd. at night and you'll see a lot of Americans using drugs and if you move to the south over sunset blvd. you can se prostitution in early hours on the street.  Is easy to point the finger to certain people in particular but when we have to take a look in our own people we also can discover about the same thing.\nWelfare collectors? just go to Alhambra and you will see a lot of Armenians collecting welfare.  Go to the South Central LA and there is a lot of drug dealers, but who lives in that area? black people!\nUnfortunately bad people exist in any community, not matter if is American, Latino, Black or European, you'll find whatever on the streets.  Now, think on this:\nThere is 2 cities:\n\n1.- X City, populated by 500 illegal immigrants and 40 Americans.  The jail have 99% of illegals, also most of the crimes are made by illegals.\n\n2.- Y City, populated by 500 Americans and 60 illegal immigrants.  Do you know who's the majority on the jail? who's doing overpopulation on the hospitals and who run the mafia? \n\nIs like simple math, more people of an specific classification could elevate the statistics who affect that specific classification.  And let's do worse.  Illegal immigrants are poor people, and almost all the patrons pay very low wages, they have to do miracles to survive. But few of them like me, can find the way to do it.  I'm running my own small business and very soon I'll have employees and I hope, in the near future I can have my green card, then I can go to visit my brother and sisters.  I have 12 years living here, I even don't remember how they look.\nI hope this can help you

I am not too sure, but I think what he can do depends on the situation that made him come here.  All I can tell you is he should contact Immigration Advisory Service and Citizen's Advisory Bureau as soon as he gets here.  Both of them know how they can help illegal immigrants and asylum seekers, so I hope they'll be helpful.    But it will be a long battle.  Good luck.

Well if a person enters USA illegally, he would have to leave and apply from his birth country. But as soon as he leaves, he would be barred from returning after a while.\n\nI think if he did all his education, like finish high school here and go to college and get a degree, his chances of getting greencard here would be higher. Marriage would be the easiest.\n\nYour best bet is to see a attorney...Most likely he would need a sponsor to support him here so he would have to find a person who is a greencard holder or citizenship and has a job.

What can we do to stop illegals?\n1. Actually enforce the immigration laws currently on the books.\n\n2. Imprison the landlords, employers and anyone giving any assistance to illegals.\n\n3. Place automated cameras and remote operated fully automatic weapons on the border.\n\n4. Deny citizenship to children of illegal aliens.\n\n5. Set up an actual hotline for people to report the presence of suspected illegal aliens in the workplace or neighborhood.\n\n6. Adopt English as the official national language making it easier to identify people that are not citizens. Even if you must use broken English, although humorous at times, it is understandable and you will get better at it if you try. If you can't speak English you obviously are not a citizen, where is your visa?\n\n7. Adopt English only for all government paperwork to help eliminate the filing for benefits by foreign nationals with the one exception of visa applications.\n\nWhy are they harming us?\n1. They want a better life. We can't blame them for that, but it is not our job to support them nor should we look the other way from the crime of illegal entry. If they wish to have the same rights as our citizens, they can apply for citizenship after they have met all of the other legal requirements.\n\nHow are they harming us?\n1. By draining billions of our tax dollars with free medical care, requiring the hiring of Spanish language teachers due to the fact that they refuse to learn English, welfare benefits for children of illegals.\n\n2. 15-20 or more people living in a single family residence creates unsanitary living conditions and lowers the values of all of the neighboring properties. If you want to live in these kinds of filthy conditions, you can do that in your own country; do not drag our neighborhoods down.\n\n3. Over crowding in the schools is making it so that our own citizens cannot get a decent education.\n\n4. Refusing to immigrate legally bypasses the required health screen and allows previously eradicated diseases back into the country.\n\n5. Illegals accepting jobs at below minimum wage suppresses the wages of our own citizens.\n\n6. Using stolen SSN and other US identification wreaks havoc for taxpayers by totally screwing up the tax bracket they are currently in, forcing people to waste hundreds of hours to even attempt to get this straightened our with the IRS.\n\n7. Illegals often support themselves with drug smuggling bringing the drugs across the border with them.

Here's the deal.  Almost anyone who is currently in the US illegally can ask for and receive permission to legalize his status and apply for citizenship.  This will take months and months to process but he is allowed to freely live in the US during the process.\n\nThis is complicated to do but mostly in terms of the various forms to fill out, who you go see and the fact that he needs a hearing with immigration official.  What this basically means is that he needs to hire an immigration lawyer.  Note that everything he discusses with the lawyer is protected by attorney/client privilege.  It's a very common thing to do and well within the abilities of a competent immigration attorney.\n\nUntil he does this, he is very vulnerable to being deported.  Not saying people will deport him if he is discovered because in many municipalities they will not (even though this is against the law).  But, they have the right to.  Once he begins this process, they no longer have the right to.  Once his status is normalized, he is no longer a criminal fugitive.  Citizenship will be his eventually.  Just not in a timely manner.

If you are asking about illegal immigrants, simple. Return to your home country and begin the paperwork at the US Consul General's office in a major city.  And wait in line like all the other immigrants who are doing it LEGALLY.
