For Mr. Hernandez, the consequences are worrisome. Deportation is not something he would face as a Cuban refugee and military veteran. But he can no longer vote, and he cannot leave the country. And he could face prison and fines for having falsely claimed citizenship and for voting.

He could commit murder and not be deported, he is Cuban.
Reminds me of a guy on STEM OPT who wanted to apply for the extension, Employer needs to be signed up for E Verify.
No go, because he worked for the Government.... Did not do E Verify.
Would not do E Verify.
One of the many reasons there can never be CIR sic.

This article has been making the rounds on the immigration lawyer chat boards of late. My good "genius" friend Maggie Stock has been involved in those discussions. The situation noted in the article is more common than one might think.
The guy is definitely eligible for section 329 naturalization. Section 329 trumps many immigration violations. When I argued Bona v Gonzales I was asked if the former INS had ever attempted to revoke Chief Bona's naturalization because of his fraud. I noted that in addition to not having done so, INS would have re-naturalized him due to the military service of having served in two wars.
