It's hard to say because Suazo had a daughter born in the US and he may have had a work permit. (These things are never cut and dry). He was eligible for permanent residency as long as he met the other requirements. He obviously needed to go back to Honduras and obtain a passport. (My husband had a cousin who was born in Nuevo Laredo, but was raised here. He didn't take the US citizenship plunge until after Bush started his crackdown, because he didn't need to. He was in his 40s at the time. He had to travel to the US consulate in Monterrey to obtain the needed documents)
