If your parents entered the US illegally or overstayed a visa, then you and they are not properly documented. There is not currently a process for undocumented aliens to begom US citizens. You would have to leave the US, re-enter legally and complete the residency requirements from that point. (sometimes exceptions are made, but that usually requires help from lawyers or immigrant aid organizations. If you were brought to the US in a legal and documented manner, have been here five years and are now 21 years old (or perhaps 18), then you can become a citizen. Young minor children of aliens become citizens when their parent does, but that stops at somepoint in the teenaged years. After that the child must become old enough to take citizenship on his or her own.

If a Mexican man came to the US illegaly as a child with his parents and later married an American citizen will it be easier for him to become a citizen since he was brought here as a minor?
I have more of a comment: I noticed in my research that it seems harder for a person who was brought here as a child when they had no say than for and adult who is here illegally. Why are there more ways for a CAnadian to be here legally than a Mexican national. Especially, ones brought here as children.
