Feel bad for them, but ICE in Puerto Rico and New York has been deporting people here illegally from the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean by the plane load since the 90s, and most of them had families too.

If these folks are so gung-ho to be in America, why haven’t they (and millions like them) been working on getting their citizenship all along instead of just hoping no one catches up to them?

Has he considered becoming a "legal" citizen?

Why not help get their citizenship path started? And for any dreamer that breaks the law by committing a major offense, then they can deport? I think of it as a conditional citizenship. We send our citizens to jail. We can just deport them. Save our tax money.

Are we supposed to feel bad for this guy? He came on a 90 day visa and overstayed two years, drove without a license at least twice. Now he wants to marry so he can stay ? Deport now! He can take his wife and kid with him.
-
Their child is a United States citizen. However driving without a license is definitely a problem.
-
Her child. He is stepfather. Stop making stuff up. Besides, so what.Still their decision to take the child with them if biological father not in picture anymore. Nothing at all to do with where he belongs.
-
He married her lawfully in the United States, which makes him the legal father to her child. Read the article. I didn't make up anything.
-
No it does not. It makes him a stepfather. Still not an anchor for him. Makes no difference anyway the man at this point is an illegal immigrant and as such must be deported. He can then come through proper channels like my forefathers.
-
It depends on the circumstances. We don't know what happened to the child's biological father. The stepfather may be the only visible father in this child's life. This disabled six year old boy is a United States citizen, and he has rights.

And actually I think if they got married, then he can’t be deported. Am I right?
-
No, they probably can deport him, because he is a foreign national who overstayed his visa. But once he returns to the Dominican Republic, the United States Embassy can choose to forgive the past and give dad a fresh start for the sake of his child, who is a US citizen.

He could seek guidance from the United States Embassy in his country of origin. Check out EmbajadaUSAenRD (

It is quite simple. They know they are illegal and make no effort to become legal.
-
No, in this case they put the needs of her disabled child ahead of immigration concerns. But once the child's stepfather returns to the Dominican Republic, he can apply for legal status in the United States. Because it is in the best interest of the child, who is a US citizen.
