Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Re: illegal immigrant

I don't believe they will ask anything more than for a picture identification card -- unless someone has advised them that you are illegal. Second, I don't believe in California a guard at a jail has the authority to ask what your status is, or cares what your status is. Third, is your son a citizen? Because if he is, and he is over 21, you would be able to obtain your status pretty quickly. On the other hand, if he is a lawful permanent resident, and is in prison, he is going to have problems keeping his status. Let me know. I am curious whether your son is a citizen; in which case I can help you.

Thanks for your query.
