Why is it possible for the state to make a law that says a citizen must be 18 years old to vote?
States have the right to set any age limit for voting except an age over 18 years. Under the Twenty Sixth Amendment to the US Constitution, no state may deny or abridge the right of a person eighteen years of age the right to vote on account of age.
States determine what the age of majority for its citizens should be and may grant them certain privileges regardless of the age of majority. Examples are that most states allow people to drive motor vehicles before a person turns eighteen years old, while they also prohibit drinking Alcoholic Beverages even after a person turns eighteen.
Presumably, a state could allow a person under eighteen to vote, but they can't prohibit a person eighteen or over the right to vote.

Can an illegal alien make a citizens arrest?
No. One would first have to a citizen to make a citizens arrest. The above is not true in Texas (at least). Despite the common name "citizen's arrest", the law in Texas (Article 14.01(a) of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure) says any "person" may make an arrest if a felony crime is committed in their presence. Doing so is dangerous, both physically and legally, and may draw unwanted attention to an alien, but alien vs citizen status does not change the validity (or invalidity) of the arrest. It is almost always better to wait for police if possible regardless of citizenship and the law does vary from state to state.
