No one cares that he's dead.
Wouldn't a "green card" make him legal - but not a citizen? I have several friends and acquaintances (of different races) who have "green cards". They are all here legally and with a green card can legally obtain employment. In my former employment I dealt with I-9 forms and even with employees who were here legally and trying to obtain their green cards. It isn't an easy process.

BTW - I support the father.
