Let's slightly alter the circumstances. Assume a Sailor is getting ready to deploy, and his wife has jumped bail for a misdemeanor theft charge. She has a current conviction for a previous misdemeanor theft, and a 12 month suspended sentence that has now been vacated. Now that she is in violation of her bail bond, regardless of the outcome of her second trial, she's going to jail. Would we be blaming the government laws about theft? Or would we expect the government to do its job and enforce the law? One of the reasons people legally immigrate to the United States is because they are tired of living in countries where "who you are" is more important than the law.
The only one's I feel sympathy for are the kids, but that doesn't buy their mom a free pass.

PO3 Bob McCord - Disclaimer--Combine my ignorance of the law and a lack of necessary detail in the article and you have a recipe for a totally worthless answer from me. Never the less, I have not, nor will I EVER allow my ignorance and lack of intel stop me from providing a possibly "BS" answer.
Depending on her status and how long she has been in the US illegally she may face a 3 year, 10 year, or permanent disbarment from re-entry.
In my opinion, no one who voluntarily entered this country unlawfully, or who entered this country legally but voluntarily overstayed their visa; should ever be eligible for legal entry, let alone permanent resident alien status, or citizenship.

She has had 13 years to get legal.... no sympathy. I had a sailor's wife who was illegal (extenuating circumstances), but when he got to our ship (his 1st tour) he told me what was going on. She crossed right before he got to the ship. He wanted to get his wife legal. We went through the process and she was legal within a year... Putting sad stories like this to play on the heart strings of weak minded people is BS. If you break the law, you can get legal. When you don't year, after year, after year, that is on you and whatever happens to you is on you. Good job hurting your kids!
