FALSE
Not even a legal immigrant can marry a US Citizen and becomes automatically a US Citizen. You don't even get automatically a Green Card. Anything that is related to Immigration has to be sent to USCIS and be approved. You can apply for citizenship under the 3 Year marriage rule but you have to provide a lot of documentation that you and your spouse live together and such. Basically prove that your marriage is legit.
Read the entire thing in the link provided. It tells you everything from green card to citizenship. You also might want to check out the USCIS Site. |

Absolutely false.
Marriage to a US Citizen grants no automatic rights to residency or citizenship.
They need to have their spouse sponsor them for residency and if approved they can apply for citizenship 3-5 years after receiving their green card. |

False... it'll get you a green card and allow you to stay in the country, but it doesn't make you a citizen. You'd have to go through naturalization to become a citizen. |

False. Just marrying anybody doesn't do ANYthing with regard to that person's immigration status. |

Not automatically, they have to apply, pass a background check, and still wait for an opening. |

FALSE!
Let's say someone comes here on a visa and marries a US Citizen. They are allowed to go to USCIS and adjust their status. They adjust from being a visa holder to green card status, which eventually leads to citizenship. In order to adjust your status you must currently be in a legal status. If you are here illegally you have no legal status to adjust from, so you are not allowed to change your status. The person here illegally must return to their home country and apply for a spouse of a US Citizen Visa. |

False, the illegal alien must apply to be a legal permanent resident, but it is not for certain that they will be approved. It costs at least $5000.00 up front to get started. |

FALSE! A legal immigrant has to get a green card, be married to the US citizen for three years, have a green card for 3 years, and THEN can APPLY for citizenship, take the tests, etc. |

NOT AUTOMATICALLY, BUT YES THEY BECOME A CITIZEN EVENTUALLY. |

False. They wouldn't even go through the immigration process if they tried. What the illegal would be looking for is a green card. Not citizenship. It just ain't that easy!! They'd get deported if they tried and the person aiding and abetting would get in trouble too. |

Likely true with La Raza involvement and homeland security will not not arrest illegals any more it's not a crime nor is using someone elses SS# |

First, there is no such thing as an illegal "immigrant." All immigrants are by definition are inside of America legally. The correct word, by legal definition, is illegal ALIEN. So you premise is false.
If an illegal ALIEN marries an American citizen then the American citizen is now a criminal. They are aiding and abetting a felon. Which is a felony. So the answer is false. |
