There are several reasons for immigrant deportation.  Most of them have to do with the immigrant individual refusing to become a United States citizen.  When deportation occurs, the immigrant individual is sent back to their country of origin. 

Causes of Deportation

Most often an immigrant is deported for a very valid reason.  Here are a few of the most common reasons for deportation.

• Fraudulent marriage to a U.S. citizen

There are a number of fraudulent marriages that occur daily within the United States.  Most often an immigrant individual will apply for a travel visa to visit the United States.  They will hire a spouse in which they may have pre-met online.  There is an exchange of money and once the immigrant individual gets to the United States they more than likely take a trip to Las Vegas where they will quickly and quietly get married.  When it comes time for the travel visa to expire, the immigrant individual and their hired spouse will meet with immigration officials and try to explain that they got married in haste and cannot live without each other.  Without solid proof that the marriage was not pre-planned the immigrant individual will be denied a green card, possibly fined and deported from the United States.

• Refusal to leave after the visa has expired.

Many times immigrant individuals will come to the United States on either a travel visa or a visa that allows them to gain education at a college in America.  It is their duty to either renew the visa or to vacate the country once the visa expires.  Failure to either, will result in penalties such as deportation.  Failure to check in with immigration officials at the end of their educational term may also result in deportation as well.

• Illegally Entering To Have a Baby
  

There has been a growing trend where pregnant immigrant women will come to the United States illegally (either crossing the border or staying after a visitors visa has expired) and have their baby in the United States thinking that the United States government will not separate or deport the mother.  Women who do this can be deported for violating immigration law.

Getting Help

If you are facing deportation due to one of the above mentioned reasons or for any other reason, you should consider speaking with an immigration attorney as soon as possible.  Immigrant deportation is not something that the United States government takes lightly.  If someone of illegal status has violated immigration law, then he or she will be deported.
