Many people say you should go back to there country to start the process of legalizing them the right way, then come back to America legally.
The problem is, the only sure way to do that is if your very wealthy because money usually talks regardless of a circumstance.
In reality, if any normal mid, to lower class person did that, they would be moving to a place were there are little to no job opportunities, so you won't make much money. You probably won't have a house, or even a car. You'll live in poverty. Job pay is very little. This is why many illegals come to America.
Also, it can take up to 15 years, or never, depending on the political circumstances to get papers legalized.
So, what would be more logical to do? Go back to their country to live a terrible life with false hopes of ever fixing papers & returning to U.S.? Or staying in the U.S. making good money, living well illegally until they make a reasonable way for the ones you love to go & become legalized?

Also, it seems to me that true love doesn't mean you should live life stupidly, because of love. It means you should do the very best for the ones you love. I don't think the best thing for the ones you love is live on a dirt mound and starve to death. And depending on which central, or south american place you go to, determines just how much in poverty you would be.
Morals & values play a big role in that, & many don't usually understand until they themselves are put in someone else's shoes.
Not trying to start a problem, just an American who likes debating :)

By all means do it the right way, if that means going back to their home country for a while, or being separated while your spouse is back in the home country waiting for a visa. It will be hard to do, but it's better than the alternative.
Think about this: Immigration Judges have heard this before, and they are tired of it. Your story won't be new to the IJ. Your spouse will be removed from the country and barred for 5, 10, or 20 years. So many people who are illegally present want to marry somebody, make several children, and hope the whole problem will go away. It's not going away. Some day, maybe drunk driving, maybe shoplifting, maybe getting mugged, maybe being hit by another car, whatever way, you're going to have contact with the police, and the issue of citizenship will come up. Then you and your spouse will go in front of a judge and say, "Oh look at us, we're a special case because of three children and this will be an extraordinary hardship on us because there's no future in El Salvador. And if he goes back to El Salvador, the guerrillas will kill him." Then the judge will say, sorry, you are the 10,000th person I've heard this year say that. The alien will be removed to El Salvador and barred from reentering the United States for five (or ten) years (or forever)." That's what's going to happen.

Well, by the time this is all said and done and over with, that won't be a problem anymore, because illegal immigration's going to go the way of the manatee....citizenship marriages or marriages of convenience are questionable to begin with, there's a lot of hard-luck stories out there, I would say that if you really love the person, go move to their country, become a citizen there.
There's no law that says you have to live in the US for your entire natural life, but when you start playing around with citizenship, that's like a live-wire issue these days, people are really unhappy with the way the whole thing's been handled, and like anything else it's always easier to see problems in hindsight than when you're looking directly at iffy situations. Further, people MAKE their own opportunities, companies are springing up all over the world that were co-founded by americans moving abroad, and there's no law against you doing it, if that's what you want. Follow your heart, and your best judgement, I guess...

depending on the country, an average middleclass american homeowner could sell all their assets including house and car and probably get enough cash together to retire very comfortably in their country ... alot of third world countries like the philippines for instance, i know you can buy a nice house for about 10-15 thousand and live pretty easily on the equivalent of 100$ a month ...the people are nicer ... why not? just get out of this hate mongering place with their nose in the air thinking they are so great when it is rapidly becoming one of the most repressive countries on earth.

Depends. How is their country. Can you make a good living there? Do your families get along?
