The spouse and child would NOT be required to return to Mexico. The illegal WILL be REQUIRED to return to Mexico (for consular processing). The visa would be denied due to the overstay. The illegal would then need to file an I-601 waiver to get a green card and move to the US.
An illegal merely marrying a US citizen DOES NOT help the illegal at all. This is one of those myths that no matter how hard i try to dispel- people still believe in it.
Marriage to a US citizen will only help a person that while currently illegal, had a valid entry (I.e. either entry by the VWP or through a visa with inspection).
How do you apply for Canada immigration?
The process for immigrating to Canada is different depending on what category you apply under. In all cases, you need to complete a form IMM 0008 (Application for Permanent Residence in Canada). But before you apply, you should review the requirements of the different categories (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp) and make sure you have a chance. The process can be costly and time-consuming, and you don't want to apply if you know your application is going to be rejected. A skilled immigration consultant or immigration lawyer can usually give you a good idea of your chances before you ever apply.

The natural state according to the bible means, "under the guidance of nature". Fallen man, or any person who was born since the fall in the Garden of Eden were born in the natural state, meaning their spirit was dead. They have a soul, emotions, but their spirit is not alive. They are at enmity with God (they hate God). Read Romans 1:18:-32.
Down through the ages God had pity on some men and they found God's grace unto salvation. Also God chose the nation of Israel to bring forth the Messiah. Some of these Jews found God's grace.
When the Messiah (Jesus Christ) came to earth it was for one purpose and that was to die, be buried, and be resurrected the third day so that men (Persons) could be reconciled back to God, or be "Born again" and have their spirit quickened (made alive).
The bible makes reference several times to the natural state, one such is I Corinthians 2:14, " But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them because they are spiritually discerned".
When a person is born again God gives that person the Holy Spirit and it is the Holy Spirit that gives those who believe the capacity to discern divine truth.
Unbeliever's or those in the natural state do not have this capacity and many think they know the truth, but they really have no idea what the bible really teaches.
The only way man can be given eternal life is to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior (Be Born Again).

If your boyfriend gets deported for driving with out a license can you stop the deportation?
Not likely. The federal law changed recently, and even though at one time, some states(like North Carolina) were issuing driver's licenses to illegals, that has now changed, and as soon as an illegal is arrested, even for a traffic violation--the deportation process begins.
How is the US immigration policy inconsistent with American ideals?
Wow. You can come at this from SO MANY different angles. First, I don't think the written policy/laws are inconsistent with American ideals. The US is a nation of immigrants and will remain so; every US citizen at the moment of our founding was an immigrant in the sense that not one of them was born in "The United States". This fact is a vital part of our history and identity. However, it does not mean that we are or should be a nation without borders. If nothing else, the Constitution is our foundation as a nation built on law and the rule of law. Some provisions of the Constitution were in place to recognize that no one in the world was a natural born citizen at the inception of the Constitution. Some provisions were put in place to account for our uneven and cowardly handling of slavery issues. But now there are legal steps to attaining citizenship here as in almost all other nations, and our limits are reasonably generous.
The US immigration system is currently not 'broken' as many put it, but ineffectively implemented. Immigration is the responsibility of the federal government, and regarding this the federal government has catastrophically failed in it duty. There was an 'amnesty' under President Reagan, and after that time immigration laws were supposed to be upheld. Every president since Reagan has failed miserably in his responsibility to enforce this law. And now that utter incompetence has brought us to another immigration crisis, some are advocating an 'amnesty', after which, of course, we will 'enforce the law'. Contact me about a bridge in New York City that I'm selling.
I am a second generation 'immigrant citizen' on my mother's side, and a sixth generation 'immigrant citizen' on my father's side. I am proud of my heritage and of my US citizenship. But I do not agree that people should have the right to demand citizenship in my country just because they had the opportunity to cross the border. While many wait years to go through the proper legal steps, others successfully evade the law and demand rights and services. This is extremely painful and conflicting to many, because we understand the extreme conditions that many wish to escape. But the US is not under any legal or moral obligation to simply take in without question anyone who arrives, or to be the savior for everyone in the world who is oppressed. What other sovereign nation does that? In some countries, an attempt to do this will result in prison time or worse.

How do you find your I-94 number?
It is on the departure record (I-94) that is stapled to your passport at the port of entry to the United States. It has 11 digits shown on the left top corner of the I-94 form. The last two digits will leave a little space between the preceeding digits. As far as I know, you need to enter all 11 digits for all Immigration purpose.
How long is the waiting period for a K1 visa approval and is it true it could take 2 years?
Yes it can take some time from the filing of the initial I-129F alien fiance(e) petition at the CIS service center to the K-1 visa interview at the consulate/embassy. Generally though, the process is completed in 6-12 months depending on variables. Such as: If there is any name hits or security issues with the background/security checks, if there is delays caused by information and evidence submitted not being complete, and ultimately how long the individual consulate/embassy takes in scheduling interviews, etc. There is quite long wait times for interviews at certain consulates/embassies e.g. Philippines, Dominican Republic. Also, depending on how smoothly the process goes and on the wait times for interviews, a K visa can be in hand as early as 4 months. There has been reports of such.
See the processing times for the initial petition by using the Case Status Online and Processing Times link at www.uscis.gov Look for the link on the left hand side. For great information, experiences, resources, and support with your immigration process, I recommend

Can an illegal immigrant working under an assumed name become a citizen?
No unless you have friends in high places. Just because you are working under an assumed name you are still taking a large risk of being found out. If you are you could be deported back to your own country and the U.S. is getting edgier all the time about illegal immigrants.
