anyone entered the us more than once illegally?

Can I get denied for two illegal entries to the us?

The question is how did you leave the first time and how old were you (when you first entered, left, and re-entered)?

They won't know

8 when first entered .. left when I was 20 and came back same year

Did you sneak out the border, or did you leave on a plane (do they have a record of you leaving)?

If the former then they have no record you ever left, you should be fine (claim that you entered when you were 8 and never left).

If the latter than that's ground for a permanent ban from US. Leaving legally while having more than a year of illegal presence triggers a 10 year ban, re-entering while banned results in a permanent ban.

Above all.. Tell the truth. Don't listen to people here trying to tell you how to trick or "word" certain events, just be completely honest, I don't see an issue as long as your 5 consecutive years remain undisturbed.

I heard that If you enter the the US illegally more than once you are permanently banned. Would one be permanently banned even if one was under age?

Basically, to anyone who asks this question....Just read the rules. You left when you were 20 and came back same year which means that you werent continuously present here since 2007 (im going to assume you turned 20 after 2007).

It doesnt matter if you left X times when you were 10 and Y times when you were 11. If you meet the requirements you are eligible for deferred action. Since Deferred Action does not grant you LEGAL STATUS, your "case" is deferred until a more permanent solution is put into place. Now if the permanent solution aka DA aka CIR puts regulations that you could not have entered the US more than one time illegally, then yes you will have a problem later on. But for something small (yet big) like deferred action, you should be fine.

You dont have to "lie" about anything...they ask you to prove when you entered, prove you were under 16, etc... and then continuous presence. If you can do that then i think you are fine. Speak to a lawyer about leaving and entering. But lets say you were 20 in 2010, and there was a 6 month gap in your presence...how do you plan to provide proof for that if you werent actually here?

For DACA-

Pg 5 of DACA says this

Item 10.

Do Brief Departures Interrupt Continuous Residence (June 15,2007-June 15,2012)
A brief, casual, and innocent absence from the United States will not interrupt your continuous residence. If you were absent from any period of time, your absence would be considered brief, casual, and innocent if it was before August 15, 2012, and:
a)The absence was short and reasonably calculated to accomplish the purpose of the absence.
b.) Not because of an order of deportation, or removal
c.)not because of a voluntary departure
d.)actions outside of us were not contrary to law.

If you entered at 8 and stayed until 20, left and came back the same year, that shouldn't affect you.

If you would have came at 8, then left a few months later and didn't come back until you were 20, that would probably disqualify you.
