Crime and Illegal Immigration

  • If you are in the U.S. illegally, living and working without a green card, and are charged with a crime such as disorderly conduct, drug possession or DUI, you most likely will be detained on immigration issues.
  • If convicted, you will be deported and unable to return to the United States for a period of 10 years. If caught returning to the US, you may face 10 years in federal prison.
  • Serious crimes are referred to as crimes of moral turpitude and considered bars to successful immigration.
