Also these people don't involve any criminal unlawful business they just live as other American citizens.

My question is: If they arrested by police, what will happen to that illegal immigrants ? Are there any rights for them ?

First of your post don't make sense if they are illegal,how did they get a visa or ssn? And learn your law police ARE NOT immigration officers they have NOTHING to do with immigration. If the immigrants get arrested,its up to the immigration department to decide.

And, I suppose you think everyone has the right to break our immigration laws by overstaying their travel Visas to get instant citizenship? There is a large percentage of the world who would love to be an American citizen. Sorry, we cannot support that. Until American citizens have full employment, our veterans receive the care and help they deserve, our elderly aren't stuck in rest home purgatories, our homeless are better taken care of and our children are better educated, the door should be closed.

Well, they take their jobs, you know. Heck, an illegal alien is taking Michelle Obama's job FFS... just no respect.

Dude this is the Immigration forum, says so on the top.

That's like going to the paranormal forum and saying "I cringe at the obsession many CD posters have for the 'paranormal'".

However if they get stopped by the cops than probably nothing happens as I have been in traffic court and listened to a judge giving a speech to an illegal who drove without a valid drivers license and on top of that got a violation and the judge gave a speech how the illegal could be arrested and deported.

The illegal got everything translated by his court translator and this 16 year old, left the court room as a free person and most likely is still driving around.

Sadly if you get hit by an illegal who often is not insured than you get stuck with all the cost.

Due to the illegal aliens and uninsured drivers the insurance premiums are sky high.
Why that illegal person didn't get deport by immigration officers ? He or she arrested by cops and cops told that person some law rules then they just freed that person with nothing ? I haven't understood meaning of deport yet.

So they only deporting criminal-drug dealers ?

If they marry a citizen, they can stay.

The problem is their employers. If there were no jobs for them, they wouldn't stay.
Many of these are foreign students who do go home . I live in a resort area. Many of our seasonal business could not survive with out these kids.

Back when I worked restaurants, every single person who worked in the kitchen of every single restaurant was illegal. Every single of those people also used a SSN, whether fake or belonging to a deceased person or whatever, and paid taxes out of their paychecks and social security and disability and all the rest. I know for a fact that it's still the same, and that illegal immigrants working in construction do the same thing (can't speak to agriculture). Most working illegals are actually paying money into a system which they'll never use.

They're not, if they are accepting cash only and don't have a SSN number.

How many have a SSN & are paying taxes?

See my post above. At least in the restaurant and construction industries, most of them are- just using someone else's SSN.
