More details to this question:
Hello, thanks in advance. I believe I am a legal is citizen.. I have a social security and I pays taxes for all my properties and vehicles. I entered the us more than 20 years ago, but I don't have a green card or have been told I am a legal citizen. My wife left me when we were about to finish my legalization process. Anyway I'm getting all that fixed. that was just a back story. The problem is my current girlfriend has found out that I may not be a citizen, now she has been threatening to deport me unless I marry her. I am not marrying her because of her past 5 divorces and I have reason to believe that she is a gold digger her game is marrying and divorcing. So if I do not do as she wants she's going to deport me¿ according to her. I don't think that is right. But if this occurs. What will happen to all my houses, cars and money? Is there a way I can give all my belongings to my son when I do get deported?

Unless you have committed crimes, the Department of Homeland Security is not interested in your houses, cars and money. You can give all your belongings to your son by giving him or someone else a power of attorney to dispose of your property and assets if you wish.

She can't get you deported. Only the government can deport you and they won't take action just because she asks them to. They don't work on a referral basis, so you are safe. If you were ever to get deported, you would still own your assets and could deal with them through an attorney or someone with a power of attorney.
