It all depends on the status of the person right now, and why they want to deport him.
Even if he is married, if he's not applied for the marriage visa, then that is same as still being illegal, so in that case, unfortunately he can be deported. Also if he has applied for the visa and has been rejected, and has not successfully appealed, then the same thing can be said.
Yet even though he once was an illegal immigrant, if he is legally married to an English girl now for 6 years, then he should well qualify for the marriage visa. So if he's not applied for it before, then he must apply now as soon as possible. And he must prove them that he has been legally married to this person for 6 years now, and the marriage is still in continue, and him and his wife live together.
Home Office should not deport him because he was an illegal immigrant once, as long as he has the right status now. So, whatever the reason for them to trying to deport him, he definitely needs to speak to a immigration lawyer to sort it out. There are many agencies that can settle down cases on no visa no fee bases, so try asking help from those. Check TNT magazine and its website for their adverts. Do not speak to Home Office about it, as they are least likely to be helpful.
And those are some links that might be useful.
Good luck.

Why didn't the person apply for a visa? If you mean they used to be an illegal immigrant but now have a visa, then it is not impossible, but unlikely that they would be deported without good reason. It depends on the circumstances. Did they break the law, breach the terms of their visa? If they are still illegal, then yes they can be deported at any time. They need to apply for a visa as soon as possible at the embassy of their home country. HTH : )

Living in what country? Deported from the UK? Possible but unlikely. If married to a British citizen, you can then opt to move to Ireland to work for 6 months, and under EU law you are entitled to an EEA permit free and gratis; and after 6 months there you are entitled to an EEA permit for the UK. (The reference for this is the "Surinder Singh" principle, named after a case decided by the European Court of Justice and binding on all EU countries.)
Or any other EU/EEA country.
If, however, you are talking about the USA or Canada, yes you can be deported from there.
All the other answers seem to be from the USA. But of course "English" implies a British citizen, and suggests the UK. Answers from America are irrelevant in that event.
Your query is, however, bizarre since it implies that you have been here illegally for all the 6 years that you were married. That is certainly feasible: nobody -- not even the electoral register visitors -- checks your immigration status, and unlike Continental European countries there is no provision for people to register their domiciles at the town hall. It seems wildly improbable that someone would wait that long before trying to regularize status.
As for the USA, the Myrna Dick case is instructive: http://www.sharma-crawford.com/Myrna_Dick.htm

The English girl is an idiot for marrying this lowlife and allowing herself to be used this way.
We do not want more immigrants here.
He should be deported and she should go with him and try out life in a third world country.

You would be deported back to your home country. You could apply to enter legally as you are married but no insurance they will say yes.

Marital status will not keep an illegal immigrant from being deported. It may make it easier for them to return legally, but even that is not assured.

Yes you can be deported. You obviously married an English girl to enable you to try and get permanent residency. She must be really stupid to have married you as marrying a foreigner usually ends in tears and another single mum for us to support. If you did get married for love you should take her and settle back in your country instead of staying here. You should have been deported by now and I hope they catch up with you soon.

I was going to say I don't think so because that gives them a green card allowing them to stay in the country, but looking at the answers above i think i may be wrong...
Was that the way they used to do it?
