YES!!! Don't do it! You can be arrested and they will be sent back to wherever.
You will probably not be arrested unless it has to do with trafficking. Simply marrying someone who is already LEGAL is not a criminal offense. However doing so based on money.. like "mail order brides" does violate the INS policy on legal marriages and they will possibly have a VISA revoked if they try to become a perm. resident.

∙ 11y agoNo. It is illegal for an alien without legal status to be physically present in the United States. Although there is an old federal law the makes it a crime to aid and abet an illegal alien that is already present in the US, reportedly, no one has ever been prosecuted under that law. Recently, some US states have passed laws making it a crime to house or transport an illegal alien, whatever risk there is in doing these acts is not affected by whether you are married to the person or not.
Perhaps the biggest risk related to this situation would be attempting to bring your spouse across the border into the United States without a visa. This is the most criminal liability you could be exposed to as the spouse of an illegal alien.
Other than that, there is no residency or citizenship requirement for marriage in the United States and, generally, American citizens are free to marry whomever they please and to remain married to them. The most notable exception is marriage to someone of the same sex, which currently cannot be used as the basis for a green card application.

∙ 7y agoMarrying a citizen is not enough to get citizenship. If the marriage was done to get citizenship and there was no love or committment, the marriage is illegal.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo, it is not illegal, but it doesn't give that person a citizenship. To do that you need to file the right papers with Immigration which may be hard since they are illegal.
