On MLK Day, ICE deports Jorge Garcia, a married father of 2 kids in metro Detroit who has lived in the U.S. for 30 years. He was brought to the U.S. when he was 10 years-old by undocumented family members, making him too old to qualify for DACA
Serious question so please don't shoot me for trying to fix my ignorance. Why not become a citizen within those 30 years? If you try to apply do they just deport you and make you start at 0 from outside the country? I honestly don't know a lot about our immigration policies

How do you get to be married (wife stays) and live for 30 years in USA and still be illegal?
As a non-american, this is a head scratcher for me.

so when he leaves, will he be able to reapply since he's married and has kids?
