Was Niko legal or illegal?

Hey guys! cool.gif

 

So this is something I've been wondering for awhile, do you guys think Niko was a legal immigrant or illegal? sure one of his quotes when he's running from the cops is something to the effect of "I've got my papers!" but I doubt he'd admit not having them out loud, lol who would

 

Plus Roman mentions he dosen't have a Visa in the first mission, also maybe that partially what Niko means when he talks about how what he does is all that he can do to make money, could mean because he's not legal

 

I dunno just a silly question I wondered lol

I'm sure most of those dudes are there illegally -- of characters who sound like they're born somewhere else. I'd say uncle faustin was legal and Luis. But all those others like timur florian and the bellics aren't

The LCPD database doesn't mention anything about Niko's immigrant status, so I'm guessing he's a legal immigrant. Legal or illegal, the crimes Niko committed in Liberty City are even worse than being any illegal immigrant.

Roman states he doesn't have a visa! I think that must mean something.

Well, Niko is different from Roman. We don't know exactly how and why Roman came to Liberty City. Because Niko came later, this might mean he actually took the time for the whole immigration process to carry out.

Niko came right off a boat that was carrying drugs and stolen cars.

 

Of coarse he is an Illegal Alien (Like how you Republicans say it.)!

True, I'm not sure about roman lol but we know for a fact Bernie is illegal. He outright says he is in the beginning cutscene for Union Drive so it wouldn't surprise me if Niko was the same way

 

Also on that mission where you have to follow the Korean dude with the counterfeit money in a boat, Derrick says something to Niko about being illegal and saying he must know what its like to smuggle things into the country, he didn't disagree so that probably means he's illegal

I'm an alien.

I'm an ilegal alien

 

ok not 100% right but appropriate tounge.gif

 

Niko is an illegal immigrant - he comes on a boat ffs tounge.gif

Roman has to be a LEGAL one though, he owns a business, you can't own business and property if you're illegal (at least to thebest of my knowledge)

 

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

I think Niko is illegal because all he does is crime.

sarcasm.gif That's the worst argument I've seen here. That implies any career criminal is automatically illegal.

Of course he's legal. Travelling on a boat across the Atlantic Ocean is a very common way for people to immigrate to the United States.

If Niko was illegal wouldn't he be deported after being arrested after numerous crimes?

No, and this often doesn't happen in real life either, because immigration is exclusively federal jurisdiction and not under local police and frequently an undocumented person cannot be matched to a database confirming his status, especially if the person gives false information.

 

In any case Niko would not be deported until after he was prosecuted for the crime he was arrested for, and this never happens because, like all GTA protagonists, he can bribe his way out of custody every time.

No, for the same reason he doesn't go to Prison for the rest of his life or get executed when he's arrested - he bribes the Police

I heard this in the first mission,

 

Terrorists. There's been a big scare and you can't go across the bridges so good. You, without a visa, I would stay in Broker. f*ck it, stay in Hove Beach. Everyone like us does.

 

So, yeah he is illegal

He is illegal as Francis states before the Tom Goldberg mission, he says somthing like it should be easy for you as your illegal. I just thought i would give this input.

Obviously illegal. I can't see why anyone would think he's legal. After all, he did come to america on a smuggling ship. alien.gif

I always thought he worked in the ship. I don't think you need visas for each crew member of some cargo ship when they don't (or are not supposed to, at least) leave the ship.
