how can illegal aliens become us citizens?

Answer 1

They must go about it the same way every other immigrant does, if not get the #@!! out of here. I know many immigrants that came from Europe and they did it the right way, it might take some time but that's the way it is. If illegals don't like that then tuff.

Answer 2

Your premise is wrong, via fact that an unlawful alien would not get his eco-friendly card with the help of distinctive characteristic of marrying a citizen. He has to flow away the rustic and re-enter legally (after a ban of three or 10 years) on a companion visa.

Answer 3

They can't do it while illegally in the US, even marrying a US citizen will not do it for them. They have to return home to their country and apply from there - what they should have done in the first place.

Answer 4

Depends on the country of orgin. There are tests to take on civics, american history, and constitution. Background checks are preformed and status as to how they got into country. Call local INS office with exact questions about the person wanting citizenship

Answer 5

They have to land on Earth first. Since no one believes in aliens, except for area 51 .. that the Govt. keeps under wraps .. there will never be any legal aliens. Good Luck ! :)

Answer 6

what is it the illegals are not getting? your not wanted here!!!! go home and apply all your so called hard working a**** on bettering your own country.

Answer 7

By getting married to a legal citizen...........

Answer 8

You could always get married to someone who was born in the states. That will help you get a green card, just don't screw it up...if you get a divorce, once the divorce is finalized your shipped back. Good luck.
