Yes. It is not necessary to record the marriage in Mexico for it to be considered legitimate. For Immigration purposes, any marriage which meets all of the following criteria is legitimate:

1) The marriage was legal in the place where it happened.

2) All other prior marriages were legally terminated before the marriage took place.

3) The two parties were of the opposite sex.

4) Both parties were physically present at the ceremony, unless longstanding cultural or religious traditions forbid such.

5) The marriage has been consumated. (The couple has had sex at least once since the marriage.

If a United States Citizen marries in the United States in January 2009 to an immigrant from the Philippines is she now considered to be a United States Citizen?

No, she is not. She will be allowed to remain in the US with her spouse and children, but she will have to apply for citizenship separate from her marriage. The US citizen REMAINS a US citizen. The immigrant remains an immigrant and must follow the legal path to resident immigrant status, and from there to citizenship. Marriage is not a free pass to residency or citizenship.

It is not illegal to marry an illegal immigrant because you love them. It is not illegal for you to immigrate your illegal spouse...assuming that the marriage is legitimate. It is illegal to mar them.
