How can a citizen help legalize a sibling who overstayed their US visa?
You can sponsor your sibling by filing to "adjust status." Your sibling is currently "out of status" by the overstay and risking deportation. File the AOS I-485 package immediately. Overstay based on marriage to a US citizen is forgiven at the AOS interview. This could apply to your situation, as well.

Who do you marry a illegal immagrant who current stays in the us?
Marriage to an undocumented immigrant does not automatically grant legal status in the US. Depending on individual circumstances, they may be eligible for certain immigration benefits, such as a marriage-based green card.

If you marry an immigrant can they be deported?
Marriage does not transfer any rights or status to non U.S. citizens. An alien can apply for adjustment of status or for an immigrant visa based on the marriage to a U.S. citizen, but that application has to be approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Are there ANY laws that protect the rights of some one who is the victim of greencard marriage fraud?
The Immigration and Marriage Fraud Act of 1986 provides some recourse. If the immigrant is here on conditional status, but you now believe that they only pretended to love you for that status, than you may report this to ICE (Immigration and Custom Enforcement). If it's within two years of the marriage, the conditional status can be revoked and they be deported. Bear in mind - and as you well know - before the immigrant got his/her status in the first place, you were each interviewed on this matter and swore that this was a real and bona fide marriage of love, not convenience. You may wish to consult with an attorney. And you should also be sure that this is truly "fraud" as opposed to "no longer loving" him/her.
Where does one even begin in this huge issue of marrying an illegal alien?
I assume you mean the issues of immigration status change and not the actual marriage. Consult an Immigration attorney. They can give you step by step guidance or even assist you in filing the necessary paperwork.

Sorry! You have to wait for the immigration reform. If you are an student now, you need to find information about the proyect: DREAM ACT.

Discuss with an immigration lawyer your options, every case is different, i dont know if you are married or if your parents have status...
