No. At least, what I've learned in government these last four weeks, you won't. According to my government book (looking at it right now to make sure and not make mistakes) under the "Jus Sanguinis" of Law of Blood, you are an American citizen. It doesn't say about being brought illegally, but my friend's boyfriend and his mother came here illegally, married a legal, citizen and have been living here. The two of them are now legal citizens. Because you were a child and brought through, and have been living here since (have you?) then you are a citizen of US - as long as you meet the requirements. Apply, because you won't be sent back. Law of the Blood says if you were born to an US citizen (even at least one), then you are an American citizen, legally. If you have lived in the US for over 5 years, after the age 0f 14, you can also apply for citizenship then as well. Oh, and I just found something: "an applicant requesting citizenship must be at least 18 years old, have lived in the US as a lawfully admitted resident alien for 30 months out of the previous 5 years, and have lived in the state where the petition is filed for at least 3 months." The basic of becoming it though - is a moral character (so I hope you aren't a murderer or anything..... -__-''' ) It will be a long process however, so I hope you endure it! You have to be under 18 to be naturalized under your father. After that you have to apply for citizenship on your own as an adult.

Almost any animal not native here has been illegally imported at least once. Tigers, lions, elephants and rhinos are some examples.
