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.

How can someone who entered the US as a minor with a tourist visa and overstayed by 15 years with a SSN but no home country id marry a US citizen?
Just go get married. Your alien status has nothing to do with getting married. Normalizing your status after marriage is another matter though. You should still be able to change your illegal alien status to that of legal resident by way of marriage to a citizen, but the process will be complicated both by your past crime and your lack of documentation.

No rights gained, save for the ability to legalize your residency status if the immigrant entered the country LEGALLY.
Is there any way to legalize yourself if you marry your permanent resident - green card holder fiance and you also have a US citizen baby together Will you be able to work and travel?
No, your fiancee would need to be a citizen to petition you. Moreover, if you entered the US illegally, then even if your fiancee was a citizen, you would NOT be able to legalize your situation. If fiancee was a citizen you would need to file a I-130 petition and file for a I-601 waiver at the US embassy of your home country, and you would have to go back to your country for the hearing. Such waivers are hard to get. Your citizen child will not help you. Suppose you entered legally and overstayed because you found out you were pregnant. The situation is different in this case. You would be able to extend yopur stay, get a visa initially, then a Green Card and then citizenship after 5 years in Green Card Status
If an illegal immigrant overstayed his visa for 4 years and then married a US citizen can he apply for change of status without the risk of being deported?
Marrying a US citizen does not automatically make the other person a citizen. Spouses of US citizens can and do get deported everyday. Send him back home and apply for him while he is not in the U.S.

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. Since you are 18 years old you are responsible for your illegal status. Discuss with an immigration lawyer your options, every case is different, i dont know if you are married or if your parents have status...

Having a US born child and an American military personnel will not favor an illegal mother. She can try to legalize her status at the earliest.
