The answer to this question depends. Divorces obtained in other countries will generally be recognized by the United States as long as no person's rights were violated. This means that contested divorces may not be allowed unless the defendant spouse was notified and had a chance to respond. Uncontested divorces are generally recognized, however, and are often very easy to obtain. You mentioned that it was a "quicky" divorce. You need to make sure that the divorce followed the procedures for Mexican divorces because if it is not valid in Mexico, it certainly will not be valid in the United States

How old does a US citizen have to be to get marry to a Mexican citizen?
The answer depends upon the marriage laws of the jurisdiction in which you will be married. In most U.S. states, two persons can marry at the age of 18, but it is possible to marry at an earlier age with parental consent. The minimum age for marriage is the same whether the parties are both citizens or not. The fact that one is a citizen of Mexico does not change the minimum age. I'm sorry, but I don't pretend to know what the marriage laws of Mexico are, if you are intending to marry in Mexico.

Is is best to marry an illegal Mexican alien who has been here for 4 years in Mexico or the USA?
Maybe Mexico would be better. Mexico does not recongnize a marriage from the US with its citzens,however you can register the US marriage in Mexico to make it valid. Just to clarify: Mexico does recognize a marriage from the US (or any country)between aforeigner and a Mexican citizen, however you need to take the marriage license to have it apostille, then in Mexico you take it to the "Registro Civil" where it is registered. As for where to get married it depends on whether you want him/her to apply for the green card. In which case you have a lot of paperwork to do and waitwith patience.
