Marrying a foreign national for the sole of purpose of the person obtaining permanent resident status or becoming a citizen is illegal. It is a violation of federal law and punishable by fines and imprisonment for both parties. In addition the foreign national will be deported after serving his or her sentence and will not be allowed to ever reenter the U.S. Furthermore, it is a misconception that marriage of a foreign national to a U.S. citizen guarantees permanent resident status or citizenship, it does not. It does however place a higher priority level on the person's application for residency and/or citizenship.

That issue depends on the state you marry in, but generally a marriage is a legal union preceded by a state-recognized officiate, which means that you cannot gain citizenship by marrying another non-citizen. However, you may still qualify for naturalization if you are a legal alien.
