How do I legalize my wife?

My wife came into this country from Canda in 2000 (pre 9/11). She was checked at the border (she was very ill and taken from college in Canada by her relatives that live here). I married her thinking that I can I could simply get her legalized.. attorney said no.. because technically, they screwed up at the border and shouldn't have allowed her in without a visa... now she stands the risk of a 10 year ban...? I can't move to Canada.. own my own business here and we have a child on the way? Anyone know any way around this without her having to go home and possibly being risked from being banned?

Answer:
If you are a citizen of the US, let her apply for her citizenship. Did she ever get a green card? ~
Check with an immigration (better) attorney.
In 2000 a visa was not needed.
You may apply for naturalization if:

- You have been a lawful permanent resident for five years.
- You have been a lawful permanent resident for three years, have been married to a US citizen for those three years, and continue to be married to that U.S. citizen.;
- You are a lawful permanent resident child of United States citizen parents: or
-You have qualifying military service.
Why do you keep asking racist questions?
