Can I be deported to South Korea? I thought only Mexicans were deported?

Question

I came to the US on a student visa, but dropped out of college in 1997. I never bothered going back to South Korea. I make my living doing work that pays cash "under the table." I never pay taxes either. Can I be deported back to South Korea? Nobody I know has ever been deported. Do you know any Koreans who have been deported?

Answer 1

well you are illegally here and just because you are south korean it dont mean you wont get deported. at least some mexicans pay some taxes you should try to do that . but yes you can get deported buddy

Answer 2

Hmm,

Yes, you could possibly be deported if caught committing a crime, or if you are in need of hospitalization. However, since you have been in the United States for so long, you should be able to become a United States Citizen if you follow the right steps.

A similar case happened to a friend of mine, she came to the United States on a Work Visa, and never left when it expired. She was able to become a citizen, and avoid deportation with the help of a lawyer.

My best advice to you is to contact an immigration lawyer, and explain your situation, even if you do not have the money to pay for legal services, there are organizations that you can be referred to that will help you free of charge.

The longer you wait, the harder it becomes. Don't let some of the negative answers here discourage you, feel free to get in touch, if you need help!

To those of you who may frown upon this man, because he is living and working in the United States illegally, I want to say that you will not know what it is like, until you have lived in his shoes.

Being born into the United States, and living within the borders of America your entire life will only desensitize you to how hard life can be overseas for some people without the same opportunities we are afforded.

In the end, we are all Human beings. We all live, love, and bleed the same, so you should not hate your fellow man for wanting and dreaming for a better life, because it is something all of us do, regardless of our national heritage.

You know, being Mexican myself, you'd think I'd be offended, but (hoping that you honestly believe that about mexicans, especially since most people do) I'm not. I don't know of any korean being deported, but to my knowledge, if you are an illegal immigrant, you can get deported (regardless of nationality) you are not an american citizen, even though it is fairly simple to get a drivers license and such. fortunately for you, La Migra(Immigration) is always on the lookout for mexicans because the southern border is mainly where immigrants come from. All other races are for the most part overlooked. Because you don't pay taxes and get paid under the table, there is obviously no way of finding out who or where you are. if you stay discreet, you could pull it off, but be careful. if i were you, i would work on getting citizenship just to be safe.

Anyone who is illegally in the U.S. can be deported; just as anyone residing illegally in England, Ireland, Germany, Japan, Italy, Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Columbia, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, or any other country in the world can be deported,

Most countries do not have the resources to "track down" illegals, so many are undetected. Some countries don't really care whether you are there illegally, as illegals help promote financial gains; i.e., the U.S. School systems in the U.S. reap thousands of dollars by allowing illegal immigrants, especially the Hispanic, to attend their schools. U.S. public schools are not required to ascertain if a child enrolling in their school is a legal citizen; and, due to the No Child Left Behind Act, pursued by Laura Bush, and signed into law by her husband, President George Bush, U.S. schools cater to immigrants; namely the Hispanics. As a South Korean, you have little importance to the Bush's, and I suspect if your illegal status was known, you would find yourself back in South Korea.

If this were truly Williams' artwork, intirely, he'd be properly-recommended to adhere to jokes (or perchance it truly is one among them), he's a comic. yet like many such huge-swath opinion products there is understanding interior of nonsense contained therein. we do not favor to be isolationist to perfect our faults. The 'warm subject matter' - Immigration is a case in point. there's no longer a lot room for progression in latest Immigration regulation...We purely favor to implement it. persons who favor to go back to the rustic are comprehensible. the worry is we've exceeded the saturation element at the same time as it includes 'illegals'. And it does count number what something else of the international thinks about the rustic. Pray or wish for better ideal, smarter administration.

Answer 6

Sorry dude, your behind can be deported too, but take solice in that fact in what I told UK people when I lived there. You can live in this country the rest of your life and never be found, especially speaking english.

PS - If you were from Vietnam that would be another story. You'd come here scott free and be given land to boot. Maybe we should invade Mexico.....oh wait we have! Where's my land whitey!!! Oh wait I already have some...

Answer 7

Any non-U.S. citizen can be deported (even permanent residents, if they commit certain crimes!) except those who are citizens of countires with which we don't have repatriation treaties. The ones I can think of offhand are: Cuba, Laos and Cambodia. You can definitely be deported and yes, I have known South Koreans who were deported.

Answer 8

The US does deport people to S. Korea (see attached link).

I think your best option is to contact a lawyer who specializes in this area, you may be eligible for amnesty (see 2nd link).

Another option is calling one of the hotlines available for immigrants.

Answer 9

Do you think that you are outside of the law when you are an illegal immigrant from a country other than Mexico.Illegal is illegal.If you want to stay here ,hire a reputable immigration lawyer and see whether you can normalize your situation.If you are in the New York City area please e-mail me.
