Go to the direct source. If they came over legally and then was abanoned they may be entitled but the best is to ask someone who knows all the regulations as these change all the time and can be hard to understand

There are several possible answers to the question. First, if the person came here legally as a non-immigrant and the visa expired then they are in the United States illegally and can be deported. In fact, they will be processed for removal if they are found in the United States.
If they came or were brought here illegally, meaning without a visa or any sort, then they are illegally in the United States and will be processed for removal.
Finally, if they came here as on an immigrant visa then there is a very good chance that they will be able to remain. However, there are always caveats to this that can result in their removal. These caveats could include, but are not limited to, criminal violations of a serious nature, failure to file documents, etc.

If they do not have a green card of Visa to stay in the country, than the US law states that they can be deported home.
It happened to a friend of mine.
BTW - to the folks that claim this person is an illegal immigrant - you are dead wrong. Often times, families move to the US when the mother or father gets a work assignment here (ever heard of over seas assignments?) they are ALL LEGAL on their father or mother's work VISA. Some of the kids can stay behind to finish high school or college on a STUDENT VISA. When it runs out and they don't get a Green Card or can't extend their VISA, they are forced to return home.
That doesn't mean that they came OVER AS ILLEGALS. Don't be ignorant, people. It was sad to me, that my friend who had gone through high school and college in the US - had to go back to Japan upon finishing his degree in architecture, because his father's work assignment had ended, and a good, intelligent, hard working kid was sent home because the Green Card Lottery didn't work in his favor.

As far as I know...no... they have been a legal resident in the US for over 5 years, they are probably eligible for a green card

Yes. If the person entered this country illegally, then they should return to their home country.
