No! I wish it was that easy. I husband and I have been together for 5 years (married 4). Basically there are 2 ways for him to become "legal". One he can go back to his country and we can file for paper our lawyer said that would take 10 years. Or we can file with him being here and entering the country illegally. The only way he would be granted papers if we could show hardship for him being gone (kids, if I were very sick, morgage in both our names). Oh and cannot forget have to show proof that they were paying taxes since they have been working here.

Don't follow her example. Neila22 is a criminal by harboring illegal and could go to jail for breaking U.S. law, unless she reports any illegals in her house by calling 1-866-347-2423, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tipline.

No, plenty of people come to US "legally", and they are "legal" as long as their status is legal. Currently, illegal immigrants who came to the US without inspection - border jumpers, has no way to adjust their status to a legal one. Others who overstayed, etc, could possibly adjust their status under different classes.


When someone is immigrated do they automatically get sent back?

No. The problem is illegal immigration. In many cases, illegal immigrants are sent back, but it is different for each case.What is troublesome to some citizens is that legal immigrants can go through years of effort to become citizens, and there are others who have come to the US illegally and who are arguing that they should be allowed citizenship. There aren't many countries around the world where you can expect citizenship just by crossing the border.
