Marrying a U.S. citizen DOES NOT confer citizenship nor does it insure permanent resident status for the immigrant spouse. It does change the priority in which either issue would be handled by the USCIS. Marrying a foreign national for the purpose of said person gaining residency or citizenship is a violation of federal law. If a "marriage of convenience" is proven the penalties are severe, both could face criminal charges carrying a 5-year prison sentence and a $250,000 fine. In addition after serving his or her sentence, the immmigrant spouse would be deported and barred permanently from entering the U.S., and the citizen spouse would have a criminal felony record.
