    To answer the title question: You'd be married to an illegal immigrant, who is subject to deportation.

    S/he cannot adjust status, as s/he entered illegally.

    well you'll will have to go back to his/her country as you cannot stay in that country anymore
    This is not true. The illegal may have to go back but a legal citizen isn't going to be forced from the US.

    Is this question about somebody who entered illegally, or who entered legally then overstayed a visa? If it's the latter, what type of visa?

    If he entered illegally, he needs to go home. Wait 5 years, then apply for a K-1 Visa. You can still visit him in his native country.
