That fact that she entered legally is a big deal, if she can survive
until you get Citizenship then under current rules her overstay will be
forgiven and you can legalise her staus through her marriage to a USC.

If she gets deported then you file for her, she will have a ban, she
will be refused the visa and you then have to file for a waiver to
overcome the ban.

Best bet might be to go for any amnesty programme, whatever that might
be.

>>"She gets the money by WORKING as an illegal immigrant."<<

There are "illegal ALIENS" and "NO illegal IMMIGRANTS"!!

Perhaps she QUALIFIES for the Amnesty proposed to be Doled-Out by the
US Dems and Repubs to the 12 Million Illegal ALIENS. Check the current
debate in U.S. Congress and the numerous PROTESTS by the Illegal
ALIENS.

I wish all the ALIENS in the present or past USCIS/INS Deportations
were here to get their piece of the U.S. PIE retroactively!!!
