Is it better to marry an illegal Mexican in Mexico instead of the US?

YES. If you get married in the U.S. to a person who is not legally residing in the United States (i.e. your finace is an "illegal alien"), your new spouse, upon applying for permanent residency papers after you get married, will almost certainly be deported back to Mexico. Once deported, your spouse will be unable to legally enter the U.S. again for a period of anywhere from 5 to 20 years. Your status as a U.S. citizen has no bearing on your spouse's right to stay in the United States if he or she entered the U.S. illegally in the first place. I live in Mexico, and this is what happened to two very close friends of mine. One is a U.S. citizen, the other is a Mexican who was living in the U.S. without legal papers. They're now living in Mexico with no hope of returning together to the U.S. for 15 more years. If you want to get married to a Mexican who is not legally living in the U.S., GET MARRIED IN MEXICO.
