No, but you should be able to answer that question. My question is why don't they get deported?

You don't even have to give citizens the Miranda warning before being arrested for a crime. Miranda is only required before a "custodial interrogation." It is common practice for cops to give the warning following arrest to assure that inadvertent statements made by the arrestee are not thrown out (e.g. a defense attorney arguing that the cops were "interrogating" the suspect in the back of the car). The Supreme Court has held that Miranda is a constitutional requirement. The Supreme Court has also held that the Constitution protects non-citizens while in America (note: this is why we are holding "enemy combatants" in Guantanamo Bay). However, there are a bunch of exceptions to Miranda. So without more specific facts, I understand why an attorney has not given you a a direct answer. Miranda does apply to illegal immigrants, but so do all of the exceptions. Moreover, Miranda is never a requirement of arrest (whether you are a citizen or not).
