You apparently lack information that though, she is here
illegally, she has venues. For example, many illegal people
work and file their IRS taxes with a W7 account that is
designated for the sole purpose of tax filing. Asuming ICE
came and got her, not USCIC, and placed her in removal
proceedings, with some exeptions, if she meets criteria for
cancellation of deportation for a non-resident, the
immigration Judge may grant her green card and allow her to
stay. One of 4 exeptions is her daughter. Another venue is
if her spouse, being you, are a legal resident/citizen and
you were abusive to her, she may file for a green card under
you. Beware, dont think she has not sources of potentially
staying here.
