That law has NEVER changed. Not having to leave the country applies ONLY to those who although currently "illegal", entered the US LEGALLY. If a person entered the US ILLEGALLY, the ONLY way to become legal through marriage to a US citizen is to return to the original country and apply for, and get, a waiver. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get this type of waiver in the US for those with illegal entry.

I don't have ineugh information to give you an accurate answer. 1.

If he came by the border without INS inspection... he cannot do nothing here. Every case is different: Discuss your options with a immigration lawyer a good lawyer (try those immigration recomends they have good prices, payments plans) TO HAVE AN AMERICAN SON DO NOT GIVE ANY RIGHT TO ANY ILLEGAL INMIGRANT, UNTIL THE BABY IS 21 YEARS OLD.

Can you and your boyfriend get married if he is an illegal immigrant while he is in Mexico and you are in the US?

Answer No. He has to apply to your Immigration Department for a visa. Even if you went to Mexico and married there he would still be considered illegal by American Authorities. You would be wise to contact your Department of Immigration and find out what they say.
