Criminal convictions accounted for 55 percent of individuals removed from the U.S. in 2012. A total of 225,390 people were classified as criminal aliens — the highest number in U.S. history. If you are deported for any reason, including immigration violations such as overstaying a visa, crossing the border or entering the U.S. illegally, or a criminal conviction, you may be barred from returning to the country for several years.
