Is it legal for a US citizen to marry a foreign national so that they can remain in the US?
Many people do this, but the illegal alien is taking advantage by asking either a man or woman to marry them so they can stay in that particular country. Yes, you could get into trouble, and if you don't get into trouble with your government, the person who is an illegal alien can cause you trouble. Marriage is marriage and you may have a tough time getting out of it. Don't do it! Let this person get into the U.S. the right way ... through immigration! * Marrying in an attempt to attain permanent residency or ciritzenship status is in violation of federal law. If convicted of fraudulent marriage either or both participants can be incarcerated in a federal facility for a maximum of 5 years with a maximum $200,00 fine. The marriage will be declared invalid and the foreign national will be deported after serving the imposed sentence and permanently barred from applying for reentry. The US citizen will have a permanent criminal record of having committed a federal felony. In addition, marrying a US citizen no longer guarantees the foreign national will be granted US citizenship.

In case you are born in US to US parents then you automatically become a US citizen by birth and you would just need to file Form N-600 and get the citizenship certificate. Also in case you get married to a US citizen the alien spouse is granted conditional status valid for 2 years immediately which can be upgraded to regular green card by filing Form I-751 exactly 90 days before the conditional status expires provided the alien is still married to the same American.Subsequently after upgrading and getting green card and staying in US for just 3 years the spouse can apply for US citizenship.

This process can take years and may be denied by the end of it all.

When did John H Sununu become an American citizen?
Not really sure but the sure thing is neither his father a Palestinian Arab and his mother Amazonian El Salvadorian were born in America, and to cap this, John Sununu himself was not born in America. He was born in Cuba, and I have the same question on how he became the chief of staff in the senior Bushes administration. Also it will be so refreshing to know how he got his green card & citizenship. The guy is a Cuban Arab Latino disguising to be something else, i guess he's not proud of his background, but again he has guts to say Obama should learn how to be an America. He shamelessly forgotten his scathing record and he was forced to resign from the white house. I think consideration should be given to this guy to check all his connections.
My best guess to that question is "it depends." You have to have resided or had your principal assets in a U.S. district for 91 days, basically, to file bankruptcy in that district. 11 U.S.C. 1408 requires that one live in a district for the greater part of the preceding 180 days in order to file a bankruptcy in that district, though there are some minutia regarding this code section that should be discussed with an attorney. So, if by "living abroad" you mean can someone living in Germany file bankruptcy in the U.S., I would say "yes" if they lived in the U.S. for the greater part of the preceding 180 days, or if their principal assets are in the U.S. But, if their principal assets are in Germany, and more than 91 days have expired since they moved out of the U.S., then I'd say "no." But, if by "living abroad" you mean an American soldier stationed in Germany but who calls Indianapolis home, and who has an Indiana driver's license, etc., then I'd say "yes" since that person's residence is still the U.S. It should also be noted that one must appear at a Meeting of Creditors hearing (also called a "341 hearing"), so living abroad may make this difficult or expensive unless the bankruptcy trustee is willing to do a telephonic hearing. A person does not have to be a citizen of the United States to file bankruptcy here. 11 U.S.C. 109 says "a person that resides or has a domicile, a place of business, or property in the United States, or a municipality, may be a debtor" in bankruptcy in the U.S. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.
Why should children of illegal immigrants be educated?
Illegal immigrant children should be educated because they should not be blamed for the actions there parents have done. They should be able to receive the same education Americans do because they are not the one to blame. As an American you have two choices in where you decide your tax money should go to, and that is educated more illegal immigrants or having to support the social service and prison system. if these innocent children do not receive an education they will become illiterate criminals in our society. I am an eight grader who attends Mother Caroline Academy, an all-girls Catholic School, and i have family that immigrated to the U.S. and became citizens and because they did become citizens i stand before you today and am able to provide you with this information and be very well educated and proud to say that i am a Hispanic that supports Illegal immigrant children getting an education. These children could learn to read, write and speak English if we all give to them. If these children become educated, they will want to open businesses which means that they have to hire American citizens to work for them. So they will be giving back to American !!
As a young Latina I stand proud and am glad to say I a fourteen year old Dominican named Ashley Mejia answered this question that is such a huge topic in America and did not have a answer for it. I hope i changed the way some Americans may think about Illegal immigrant children not receiving an education.
Answer:
Children of illegal immigrants are juvenile criminals just as their parents are criminals, they entered this country by illegal means and should not be afforded the rights to education as are Legal immigrants and natural born citizens..
(if illegal immigrants enter this country and then have a child, then yes that child should be educated because by law that child is a citizen as they are born in the USA.) However their parents remain illegal immigrant (criminals)
"If these children become educated, they will want to open businesses which means that they have to hire American citizens to work for them. So they will be giving back to American"
These Children that entered the US illegally with their parents grow up to be illegal immigrants they are not citizens, therefor they will not open any business, nor hire American workers, nor will they give back to America...
The demands on our society by the illegal immigrants are far more than their contributions to our society.
US Tax Payers are already supporting enough illegal immigrants by providing welfare, housing, healthcare for illegal criminals they should not be asked to foot the bill to educate illegal children which are in essence juvenile criminals wanted by the federal authorities..

Can a person become a legal resident of the US after overstaying their tourist visa for 10 years?
The question is a bit perplexing as generally it would not be possible for a foreign national to become a legal resident if he or she violated an entry visa, although there exceptions made depending upon individual circumstances. Because of the stricter immigration laws and the aggressive enforcement of such, foreign nationals who are found to be unlawfully present in the US are subject to deportation unless they qualify under refugee or asylee status. Foreign nationals who have been unlawfully present in the US for 12 months or less can be deported and barred from applying for legal reentry for 3 years. Those who have been unlawfully present in the US for more than 12 months can be deported and barred from applying for legal reentry for 10 years.
In American there are several groups of polygamists.
There are tens of thousands of Mormons in small sects like FLDS. They are based in the Intermountain West and British Columbia.
There are uncountable numbers of Christian groups and families and non religion based families as well. These people are widely spread.
More and more immigrant men are importing extra wives from their home country. Estimates begin in the tens of thousands. They are mostly in large cities.
Since polygamy is illegal in the US, these people live under the radar and don't stand up to be counted.
