The spouse can sponsor the alien any time after getting married. If he snuck into the United States illegaly, however, he will have to leave the country to go to the interview. The petition will be deined due to the ten year bar, which will be against him due to his illegal entry. The ten year bar prevents him from going back to the US for ten years. The only way to overcome the bar is for the spouse to prove that it would cause exceptional hardship for her to move to Mexico to be with her husband.

If you marry a Mexican and plan to live with him in Mexico will it be difficult for the two of you to visit the US?

I'm assuming you are a US Citizen. It should not be too difficult for your spouse to get a tourist visa if that is what you mean. If your marrying future spouse here in the US I would recommend filing for residency BEFORE leaving for Mexico (6 month to 1 year approval wait), but this is based on staying in US until residency is approved! If marrying in Mexico apply from there or while visiting US (better) so visitations to the US do not become a problem once residency is approved. I would check with US Embassy in Mexico or IRS office here, depending on where you are currently living.

If a legal resident marries an illegal resident can the illegal resident get residency?

The illegal foreign national will still be required to follow the prescribed USCIS procedures. This could mean the person will be required to leave the U.S. and then apply for a visa for reentrance. A foreign national whether illegal or not is not automatically granted permanent residency or citizenship status by marriage to a U.S. citizen. Marriage will sometimes (but not always) change the priority status given to an applicant's request. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, http://www.uscis.gov

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.
