Who is/was the most famous illegal immigrant ever?

Question

I was gonna say John Lennon and Yoko Ono(however you spell it).He overstayed his visa and they deported him.

Answer 1

Have three for you: Elian Gonzalez, the Cuban little boy.
John Lennon overstayed his visa, and got deported. Chaplin did the same, and also got deported.
albert einstein was not an illegal immigrant, and cesar chavez was born in the US, so he was an American citizen.

Answer 2

How about one of the Beltway killers?

Lee Malvo is an illegal alien from Jamaica who jumped ship in Miami in June 2001. He was apprehended by the Border Patrol in Bellingham, Wash., in December 2001, but was then let go by the INS district in Seattle in clear violation of federal law and contrary to what the arresting Border Patrol officers intended, according to law enforcement sources.

Answer 3

Illegal Elian

Answer 4

Well, there you go. It isn't, either, about race.

It's about long hair.

Dawnitopia - please READ the sources you post! One paragraph in your own link says: "In 1969, Chávez and members of the UFW marched through the Imperial and Coachella Valley to the border of Mexico to protest growers' use of illegal aliens as temporary replacement workers during a strike. Joining him on the march were both a Reverend Ralph Abernathy and a U.S. Senator Walter Mondale. Chávez and the UFW would often report suspected illegal aliens who served as temporary replacement workers as well as those who refused to unionize to the INS."

My understanding is that the UFW beat up illegal immigrants along the border, too, per a San Diego newspaper report I read.

He was NOT a friend to ILLEGAL immigrants and made the same distinction most of us do about legal vs. illegal, except that he took direct action on that distinction as most of us do not/would not.

Do you want the Good guys or the bad?

Nine to 13 million illegal criminal aliens presently roam the United States. The number of illegal criminal aliens doubled in the 1990s. The number tripled in 2000

Illegal aliens constitute over 25 percent of the federal prison population. In some areas of the country, 12 percent of felonies, 25 percent of burglaries and 34 percent of thefts are committed by illegal aliens.

In Los Angeles alone, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide (which total approximately 1,200-1,500) target illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (approximately 17,000) are for illegal aliens.

In fiscal year 1999, incarceration expenses for illegal aliens in state and local jails in Pennsylvania alone cost taxpayers $13.3 million. It has been established that the nationwide costs to states and localities for housing illegal criminal aliens is about $6 billion per year.

Answer 6

My belief is that I have a purpose to fulfill... something God-ordained. I don't know what it is that I'm supposed to do yet, but I'm sure that as long as I have faith that the purpose exists, I'll fulfill it. I believe this for every human, that God loves everyone enough to give them meaning beyond what we can understand, and not that we're just here to contemplate these things by cosmic chance

Answer 10

Lennon was here legally, Nixon tried to deport him for years but couldn't because he was here legally.

Chaplan didn't get deported, he lost a case got mad at the US and went to France I think. You can't deport a citizen.
