No, if you are legally married anywhere in the world then the marriage is considered legal under US law. Any subsequent marriage while still married anywhere would be legally invalid and you could be arrested for bigamy.

If the marriage is legal in Mexico, it should be legal in the US. One exception is for same-sex marriage. If you marry someone of the same-sex in Mexico City, that marriage will not be recognized in most of the United States.

If you are legally married in Mexico that must be disclosed when you apply for a marriage license in the United States. You will be expected to legally dissolve your marriage in order to remarry. If you lie on the application your marriage won't be valid and the Mexican marriage may surface at some future date and cause a lot of trouble.

The real question here is, did you register your divorce in Mexico with the US embassy or councilate? If you did then you may have just found yourself in a legal bind. If the marriage in Mexico was never registered in the US then you are probably in the clear. Check it out with a lawyer just to be on the safe side.

If you get married in Mexico paid taxes as married in US but never married in US then in divorce process can you get married in US with another person?

I'm not totally sure what exactly you're asking- it sounds like you're asking if the US recognizes a legal marriage from Mexico. If that's the case, then yes, the US does recognize legal marriages that happen in other countries- it actually happens all the time, people get married at resorts in Mexico, Jamaica, and elsewhere in the Caribbean, even occasionally on cruise ships! This of course requires that the marriage was properly registered with the relevant local authorities. So you cannot legally marry another person until the Mexican marriage's divorce proceedings have finished.
