Both the United States and Mexico recognize marriages performed in other jurisdictions as long as the marriage was legal in the jurisdiction where it was performed. Both countries, however, reserve the right to reject a marriage which is "against public policy" (e.g., incestuous or polygamous marriages). As for same-sex marriages, they are recognized by Mexico and all Mexican states, but not by the federal government in the United States and not by most U.S. states. One important caveat, when attaching an American marriage certificate to an application made to the government of Mexico for any reason, the marriage certificate must bear an apostille seal and be accompanied by a certified translation. The apostille can only be provided by the designated official in the U.S. state where the marriage occurred.

As long as you get a marriage license, and the church is okay with it, sure. It would be a good idea to make sure the Mexican has a valid visa to be in the US, otherwise they could be deported and that makes it hard to stay together.

If a male US citizen marries a Mexican female citizen in Mexico is their marriage legal in the US?
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
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.
