If an illegal immigrant commits a violent crime in America, are they deported?

They are tried in an American court and have to serve the sentence in America, and afterwards they are deported.

They absolutely have right to an attorney and other rights. Those are afforded to everyone, regardless of their citizenship or status.

If convicted, they'd serve their time in an American prison. Some countries have treaties with the US that would allow them to serve their US sentence in a prison in their own country. After their sentence, they'd likely be deported.

EDIT: Stupid? You think that someone should be off the hook for a violent crime just because they are an illegal immigrant? You think that someone who is an illegal immigrant who murders someone should be just deported while a citizen could be executed?

Any foreigner can be deported. If a foreigner is convicted of a felony he or she will be serving their sentence and subsequently deported. It doesn't matter if the foreigner is a Green Card holder for 50 years or an illegal immigrant.

The difference is that illegal immigrants can be deported for breathing, but they won't, because it costs us, the U.S. taxpayers $11,500 on average to deport a single individual. Eleven million illegal immigrants times $11,500 is $1,265,000,000,000,000.00. We don't have that kind of money. It's really that simple.

Every person on United States soil is subject to its law and its jurisdiction. With that in mind, if an undocumented person commits a crime, he or she will be charged for the crime just as any other person would, regardless of legal status or lack thereof. Miranda warning apples to all persons in the United States suspected of a crime, regardless of legal status or lack thereof. The right for an attorney, the right for a fair trial, the right for assumption of innocence until proven guilty is also constitutionally guaranteed regardless of legal status or lack thereof. If an undocumented person is found guilty of a crime, specially a violent crime, he or she will first be required to fulfill their prison sentence and then they will be deported back to their country of origin.

When a foreign citizen (or illegal immigrant) commits a crime in United States, the U.S. authorities contact the embassy of that country and notify them about it.They must get a permission from that foreign country before deporting that person.If that country refuses to accept the criminal then U.S. has no other choice but to keep him here in U.S. prison.

Usually foreign countries DO accept their criminal citizens.

They are tried in American court and sentenced to serve their time here. Why would we send a violent criminal back to their country without jail time only for them to come back again.

They have the right to a lawyer if they pay for it themselves.

If you feel so sorry for them, invite about 30 of them to live in your house and you pay to support them.

Yup, if they have no proof of documentation, they can be deported very easily if they are caught illegally.
