Um, how should I say this? Look, I see that about half of the visitors to this site access it through a search engine. Often, the search term is some variation of "marrying an illegal alien". I have seen "my boyfriend is an illegal alien", "in love with illegal immigrant", "can I legalize my girlfriend", and "can I get in trouble for marrying an illegal alien". I'm not going to go into much more detail, but I just can't hold it in any longer. So, for those of you who happen to find this site while you are searching for information to help your illegal immigrant girlfriend/boyfriend/friend, please give me a moment.
Maybe you have found the love of your life. Maybe you are trying to help out a friend. Maybe you are afraid, or being bullied into doing it. Maybe there are children involved. There is never a good enough reason to be involved in a crime. An illegal immigrant is *illegal*. They are breaking the law by being here. You may feel, "What's the big deal? She came here to go to school, and just stayed here after graduation" or "He came here with his family when he was young, and so he's really just American". Maybe your significant other is a fantastic person, and they are stuck in a bad situation. i am truly sorry, because that's rough. But you don't have to get involved in their ICE struggles to show your support. Frankly, if she or he loves you, s/he will understand that you don't want to be implicated in anything illegal. Shady dealings are not the best start to a relationship. Perhaps they can obtain their papers through their employer or one of the several government loopholes for illegal immigrants. Look at it this way: if s/he gets her life in order, you can have a fresh start, with no baggage hanging over your heads. You will not feel used or tricked, and, very importantly, your family will not feel that you were used or tricked. Your significant other will feel good knowing that their love is true, and cannot be questioned by anyone.
And if you are trying to "help out a friend" or make a few bucks by marrying someone so they can obtain residency, I have one thing to say. In today's world, with Homeland Security overseeing everything, do you really want to be involved in something that could bring Big Brother down on you and your loved ones??

My husband and I have been married for three years and have two beautiful children and one on the way. We met while I was in college and we married a year after I graduated. We started the immigration paperwork about a year after we were married and had saved up the money to apply. Since he was illegal we went back to Guatemala to await the interview at the embassy. However, no interview came. I am currently back in the states because I am pregnant and did not want to have the baby in Guatemala. I am however working with my lawyer to get them to push through the case I am hoping that we will be granted the interview sometime in July or August and I will return to Guatemala for this. We have to turn in a waiver that must show hardship in order to get him legalized. If you cannot show hardship then the waiver will never be accepted. I have gone through the whole process, from not being able to obtain a marriage license in my state to filing the paperwork and moving to another country. So, if anyone has any questions I will do my best to share my experience. My email address is reinadefutbol@yahoo.com.

The problem is.. there are no loopholes to speak of. And how does an illegal immigrant get an employer to sponsor them when they have no SS card? It is hard to get a job, they can not drive a car, it is difficult. Please tell me the loopholes because I'm sure that each and every person who comes to this site is looking for them. And all their girlfriends and boyfriends who love them would gladly jump through any hoop for them. This is simply the only way. Illegal immigrants would not be illegal if they had an option to naturalize legally. But if they are from a country where they are not eligible there is no hope.

Whoever wrote that blurb is horrible. I think you should marry whoever you love regardless of baggage....that's why its called love. If there were more people like you that wrote the answer to that question we would have copious amount of cold ....cold...cold...and annoying people in this world.
