Hi,
A very good friend of mine is a French citizen, and due to financial troubles, has overstayed her Visa. She wants to leave through Mexico in hopes of flying back to France to renew her visa and come back for school. The thought is that she may be able to avoid having her her name blacklisted for 5 years this way.
My question is, could I get in trouble for helping her cross over? Is there a chance of her being arrested at the border? Or would they just send her along her way because she is leaving?
I realize that she is illegally staying here, and it is at least 'fishy' to try to do what she wants to do. I just want to help a friend. But I don't want any legal trouble for myself, either.
Thanks in advance.
