Serving the purpose as proof that its holder, a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR), has been officially granted Immigration benefits, the green card also include permission to reside and take employment in the USA.
Only some types of immigrants as well as lawful permanent residents and citizens can work in the US filing the correct immigration forms. The restrictions on work maintain jobs for authorized workers, keep wages high, and ensure the safety of all workers in the US. Those who are in the US for a limited time but who are eligible to work need to file for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). The EAD verifies the authorization to work and provides documentation that workers can show prospective employers; the EAD proves that an applicant is qualified to work in the US.

They are Foreign without a green card so they would get kicked out of America.

It depends on how you are applying for green card. The US green card can be applied through family member, employment or marriage. A family member who is already a green card holder can petition for alien relative using the Form I-130 and once the priority date becomes current the alien can get the visa and enter US as green card holder. Next is through employer who has to petition and green card can be got either with or without labor certification. Lastly after an alien marries a US citizen or green card holder and is petitioned with Form I-130, the alien can adjust status to permanent resident after two years of successful marriage using Form I-485.
You will not automatically get a green card if you get married in the US. After you fill out an application and get approved, you can then work. It could take years to get approved for a Visa.
The green card holder can petition for alien spouse's green card using the Form I-130. Once the priority date becomes current and visa is available the alien spouse can enter US on conditional status. After the two years of marriage the Form I-485 can be filed to adjust the status to permanent residency.
Such an alien would first have to regularize his or her status. That often, but not always, requires leaving the US and re-entering legally.
Yes, if they get a green-card.
