If a Mexican girl is born in Mexico and came to the United States at the age of 5 can she become a citizen by getting married with a citizen?

She will still need to be sponsored by the spouse (who is an American Citizen) and apply for residency first. Once permanent residency is granted, she has to wait (I believe it's approximately two years) to apply for citizenship.

If you are under age and you marry an 18 yr old U S citizen would make it easier to get residency or citizenship?

Assuming that the person underage is illegally in the USA, no it does not. Immigration and marriage are a totally different matter. Okay, sometimes they go together in the case where an immigrant is involved, and is essential for him/her to immigrate legally, but they are tottaly two different things. In order for an immigrant to immigrate to the USA legally through marriage he/she has to go through immigration first (DHS, formerly INS). Many people mistakingly think that once they marry a U.S. citizen they become legal immigrants and/or citizens like a magic act; that's is not true. If naything, it complicates things later on when trying to get their visas and/or permanent residency. Remember: Immigration first, then marriage; not the other way around.
