First, seek an Immigration attorney. Most of the ethnic attorneys practice immigration law.
If you entered without inspection (illegal border crossing), you are out of luck. You need what's called INA 245(i). Last president who allowed 245(i) was Clinton. Before he left office, 245(i) were activated. So that EWIs(Entry without inspection) could get greencard if they get a job that sponsors them or get married to a citizen. But not now. 245(i) is not active now.
Currently President Bush said that no one who entered illegally will get a greencard. So, if you entered illegally without CIS inspection, you have to wait until Bush leaves the office and then hopefully, Congress will revive 245(i). Republican party has not been very friendly to foreigners. Yes, President allowed seasonal workers but that's very limited, and they don't get greencards. So you have to wait.
But.... If you came to US with a proper visa and entered after proper inspection, (that is if CIS officer stapled a piece of white paper called I-94 in your passport), then you have entered properly. If you entered properly, and over-stayed, you are illegally staying. If you are "illegal alien" in that sense, no problem. You can get married now to a citizen and get a greencard. After three years of having greencard, you can apply for a citizenship too.
I should think whether or not citizen is an ex-felon would not matter. Citizenship and Immigraion Service(CIS) requires only a proof of citizenship. Such include a US passport, a birth certificate in US, or a naturalization certificate. Fingerprinting or criminal records are not required for the citizen. But those things are required for the alien. But my knowledge about an ex-felon's rights as a citizen is limited, you should ask an immigration attorney or call CIS customer service. 1 800 375-5283
Call a few times, the customer service is known to give different answers.
You can marry an immigrant that has a felony in the US. A marriage license does not require a background check. However, the Immigration department will complete a background check and may dismiss theÊindividual with the felony from living legally in the US.
Your best option would be to leave the country, apply for a marriage visa, re-enter legally on the marriage visa and then get married.
YES IF YOU ARE A CITIZEN YOURSELF
Yes They Can
Getting married to an American citizen.
No.

I believe that you're guaranteed a citizenship when you marry a citizen, but being an illegal complicates the matter.
they get married nd the person thats a citizen, gives the person citizenship nd stuff.
Yes, marrying a U.S. Citizen in order to become a U.S. citizen is illegal.
Yes, but only if you apply for a green card.
From what I understand, you can't marry anyone who is already married (unless they divorce their current partner or become a widow)
Yes. If the illegal immigrant marries a citizen, they can become a citizen from that.
It is a rule stating that if you are married to an US citizen then you will be considered an legal citizen.
Well the most common way to do it is by marriage as you just mentioned it yet i don't know yet the procedures of that situation however if you are an illegal immigrant you cant become a US citizen you will have to start with permanent residency and than maybe you can become a US citizen but try ghetting married ina lawful way dont pay someone to get married with you or else you will be in a whole lof trouble.
