Illegal Immigrant Hypothetical?
964046
Don't listen to the people telling you to go to Mexico and get married.  It takes YEARS to get a spousal visa.  Unless you are willing to wait that long to be with your husband again then you need to get married here.  My husband had to pay a fine and then fill out all the applications.  We downloaded them right off of the INS website and did them ourselves.  He got his work permit right away but it took over 2 years for the greencard.  He could not leave the country during that time.\n\nHope this helps a little!

No, an alien holds a card to stay and work for a limited time and is not a resident either, only holds temporary residency. An illegal cannot have employment authorization because he came in undocumented and as such, is not entitled to green cards or residency. You can't do things backwards and expect to jump ahead of those in line. Be considerate of others and the U.S. will be very considerate to you.

I was on a forum a little while ago and a guy on there had a pretty decent plan.  So I will pass it on.  First . Close the borders for good.  ( I don't think that is possible)  2.   All illegals in the penal system would be deported immediately. ( that is an excellent idea)  3.  All undocumented workers would have 6 months to study and get their citizenships, or get deported as well. ( ah, i am still not sure absorbing all of them would be good for the country, but I think it's good mid ground).  4, after the 6 months any company still employing Illegals get fined 100,000 a day. (Love that).

Not ALL people from another country are illegal . Just the people who come here without permission to do so and stay here and don't pay taxes.  Yeah, that's pretty illegal.  On the other hand, if someone comes here with a green card or something legal like that; it's all good.

Pretty sure such a person would still be an illegal alien.

Nope. Illegal is Illegal. Deport them no matter where they come from.

Illegal/undocumented are synonyms.

Politics!!!! Politicians. Unfortunately,in politics,the rule of thumb is that only if caught and proved is it illegal. It has been a case of both sides of the border using the situation for mutual benefit. Peace.

He'd serve his time and get deported.  He MAY be prosecuted by the federal government for crossing the border illegally too.  Who knows how long before he got back across the border.

Probably, with an illegal behind the wheel.

An "illegal alien" has committed a crime by entering a country illegally. I am law-abiding and here legally.\n\nOther than that, nothing.

Good question.  I'd like to hear some good reasons why they think it is acceptable too. Personally I don't think there is ANY valid argument that will fly for coming here illegally.  I'll check back.  Thanks for asking.
