More details to this question:
I know a lady that is being deported back to Mexico. She asked me to write a recommendation letter on her behave. I like the lady. I know her. She is a good person, but my husband thinks I will get in trouble for associating with illegal immigrants. I am a citizen of USA, I did all my documentation to get where I am. He is afraid I will get involved in legal issues for a person that is illegal and no matter all the good things I say they won''t stop for sending her back home.

Hello,
There is nothing to fear from writing a letter of recommendation about someone you know. As an U.S. citizen, the CIS will not have any reason to seek to deport you and there is no law that requires you to have only friends or companions that are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. If you feel that you can testify truthfully about the person's character then you can do so without fear.
