I am a foreign national who frequented the states (Florida) back in the 90's quite often. I immaturely started driving there without any license and soon found myself with a slew of various tickets (driving with no license, expired tags, etc). Which sadly to this day, still haven't been paid. I undoubtedly have a bench warrant out for my arrest due to missing court, that much I know as I had a lawyer check it back in the late 90's. They told me that I had a warrant issued for me back in 1992.
Anyway what I would like to know is, can I fly directly into Florida for holidays without being arrested by customs at the airport? How about entering through other states, or does it not matter? Thanks for reading. Answers (2)

If you are looking for any attorney to tell you with 100 percent certainty that you absolutely will not have any problem, we would be professionally irresponsible to suggest you will not be stopped at the airport.
The ICE has discretion in these matters. Technically they could deny entry. There is not amnesty and the Obama administration has said that initiative will have to await the domestic health care discussions. That means 2010 for potential amnesty. You might find my Legal Guide helpful " What Do I Tell My Lawyer?" http://www.avvo.com/legal-guides/ugc/what-do-i-tell-my-lawyer Check with an immigration lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details. Good luck to you. God bless. NOTE: This answer is made available by the out-of-state lawyer for educational purposes only.
