Driving while intoxicated is a very serious crime in the United States. Though the specific punishment varies by state, generally, first time offenders can be sentenced to up to six months jail time, with fines of up to 2,000 dollars. Subsequent convictions result in steeper punishments.

Will an illegal alien married to a us citizen be deported for driving under the influence?

Very possible. Being married to a US citizen has nothing to do with it if you haven't applied for citizenship. Driving under the influence has a lesser of a penalty than driving while intoxicated. Never the less, it is still a crime. If you do get deported, you will not be allowed back into the country and if you re-enter illegally, you will be convicted of felony re-entry after deportation and will spend time in a Federal prison. Another problem is how where you driving if you are illegal? Illegals can not legally possess a driver's license.
