it's great to see that a lot of you believe in that you dont really choose who you love and it just happens.

no i never thought of that since he was here since 5 yrs old and has been here longer than 16 yrs. if he wanted to marry me for anchorage he could have married one of his girlfriends before me instead of dating me for 4 yrs before we decided to get married

I don't think anything of Americans dating, marrying, or having kids with illegal immigrants that is their business. I think that you probably are a beautiful person with a super husband and son! :)
Loving someone and wanting to share a life with them is so beautiful.
And it is sad and true that in these times you really need to have your eyes wide open if you are going to be in a relationship with an illegal and know what you may be in for that things can get really difficult. Sad and wrong. :(

I think when an US citizen or a green card holder, is married to an illegal person, there should be some way to make that person legal. Maybe pay a fine?
Not all illegals get married to US citizens for a green card, believe it not they do get married for love, and to build a future together.
So, I think a system should be put in place that can allows the individual illegal to be legal. However, this benefits would not be passed to other members of his/her family (mother, cousins, uncles, aunts) who are/or maybe already illegal in the country.
They could however sponsor family members at a later date (after 5 years of permanent LEGAL status) when the permanent status has been made, if the family was not already situated with the States. In other words the same process as what LEGAL immigrants and US citizens have to do to get family to the States

This is MY OPINION
While it may be true that, you don't choose who you love, you probably would never even have met, if he weren't here illegally.
I am AGAINST ANYTHING that benefits, or enriches the life of any-one who is in this country illegally.
I feel that a child born in this country is a citizen of this country,UNLESS one or both parents are here ILLEGALLY, then no citizenship is established.
I believe that America IS the land of opportunity,if you follow the rules, meaning there is a proper way to become a citizen , including the ability and the will to learn the language,and customs of the country.
This applies to ALL immigrants,regardless of their origin.
Illegal immigrants or un-documented workers to be "politically correct" claim to be doing jobs that Americans won't do.
In truth, if there were no illegal immigrants, then American citizens WOULD do those jobs.
According to the media, most "illegals" are working here in the U.S. and sending money to their families, in their home countries, if so then that money does not recirculate thru the U.S. economy.
Those who are "UN-documented"
do not pay taxes(other than sales tax)
yet still receive government services and benefits (police and fire service, schooling for the children, hospital ER and Health clinic benefits)
Some drive un-insured, un-registered, un-inspected, un-safe, motor vehicles.
So in essence they get all the rights with NO responsibilities.
The Inscription on the
STATUE OF LIBERTY
states "Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"
Which means
Come on over and stay a while, BUT CHECK IN AT THE FRONT DESK so we can get to know you.
I know it can take a long time to become a citizen, but
Don't try to sneak in through the basement window, like a thief in the night.

First of all, if you are married less than two years...I have nothing to say. However, if you two work out beyond that, I wish you a full life of happiness and joy!!!
So far as your question...I personally disagree with your situation, because there are fiancee visas and spousal visas too and the law is the law. Love happens across borders...that is awesome, but as sweet as you may be as a person, what you did is illegal and you (or anyone else in that situation) should face legal ramifications for your actions. We have law for a reason. You should have went through the legal channels or went to his country to be with him until US paperwork could be fixed. That way you two would not have ever of had to be separated.

Just know that there are consequences. One day he might be deported and won't be able to get citizenship for 10 yrs because he was here illegally. I have a feeling we will soon be cracking down on illegals and a lot of them will be deported. Just know that HE may be one of them.
Heartache sucks. Choose wisely.

Well since you asked........I think it's wrong,wrong, wrong and not the act of a good citizen. Illegal means against the law so you are in essence supporting crime. Besides that, selfish if you plan to have or do have children. Do you even stop to think how it will effect them if the illegal parent gets rightfully deported?

Illegal immigrants offer nothing to this country except erosion of our constitution.
I hope he can get a citizenship, but if he cannot, he must be deported.
Ever think that he is using you as a anchor in the country? It wouldnt be the first time.

All I can say if you love with all your heart then get him legal. This is unfair to your children and your life if he gets deported back and never to return here again. It is against the law which means you are breaking the law. For your kids sake get him legal. What a shame if they get to miss out in his life if he gets deported back. What is this teaching your children? Knowing there father is illegal.

I would not make judgements on the lives of anyone else. Everything that we do is a personal decision, and, you love whomever you love. God created us as equals, and, HE is not looking at the color of skin, or where someone was born. It is obnoxious for us to do so. None of us had anything to do with where we were born. We were fortunate enough to be in this great country, but, we just as easily could have been born elsewhere.
Good luck!

Honestly I could care less.As long as you realize the risks involved such as deportation of your husband whom you love etc.That is my only concern along with concern for your children.Who will not only lose a father but have a broken hearted mother trying to support them alone.I wish you the best always.
