It could potentially lead to deportation if you continue getting DUIs, and could also give you problems at the moment of applying for your citizenship.

Having one or more DUIs can result in your losing your Green Card. Since the immigrant laws are applied differently in different parts of the country, how it will affect you depends on where you live. You should consult with an experience immigration attorney in your area. You should do so before you pleading to any DUI charge.
Also, more than one DUI can result in you being denied re-entry to the U.S. if you leave the US on a trip. Another reason to speak to an immigration attorney.
