california: My friend is an illegal immigrant who is currently living in California. She has been here for about 3 years on some sort of visa and it expired. She has no documents but gave birth to her daughter in California about 2 years ago. She will be going to court for some personal issues that's not related to her immigration status. If the courts find out that she's illegal, would she be in trouble?|||Why havent you reported your friend??! Do you care about your freedoms?|||If she "has no documents," then it appears that she did not come legally. It is entirely possible that her status would come up in court, depending on what the case is about. Her child has a right to citizenship in her country of citizenship. It is imperative that she obtain a passport for her child from her country of citizenship. If anything happens, in the court matter or otherwise, that she could be deported, she will need the child's passport from her country to take the child back with her without a visa or any immigration hassles. If she leaves the child behind, abandonment is grounds for termination of parental rights. She would never see her child again. Since she is in the US illegally, she really needs to take her child back to her own country with her. Regardless of the outcome of her court matter.|||I believe that they do not ask things other then what is actually relevant to the case as long as it has nothing to do with the case they will probably not ask. She should talk to someone to find out how she can go about becoming a citizen or maybe obtaining a new visa.|||Most people who are here illegally came in legally but their visa expired. She should take care of this right away. I doubt anyone will ask her about her immigration status, but not knowing what her case is about, no one can tell you for sure.|||California is a Sanctuary state. Illegal Mexican= Free everything. All on the taxpayers and their bankrupt state.|||Tell her to run to mexico until she can get a new visa or why not do like all the other illegals dont show up to the court, move and stay illegal living in california|||A p*t on the B**k, and maybe some fo*d S*am*s also cro*ding the co*rt ho*se put**ng out m*re mo$ey to n*n-ci**zens, so exc*ted mo*e tax p*y*rs money go*e.
