Probably.
Yes. It happened to me yesterday.
He can apply and go through the process like everyone else, although being in the country illegally means he is likely to be deported. This counts badly against someone for the purposes of applying and gaining citizenship; he is better to leave, apply from there and come back in the 'right' way.
The Dream Act concerns legislation that would provide a way for immigrant children, who were brought to the U.S. illegally at a very young age, to remain in the country and begin the process of obtain citizenship without first being deported to a foreign country they have never known.
Getting citizenship will not be a big issue. The BIG issue is INS might require her to leave the country. You need to check with INS and their new laws regarding illegal entry.
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.
Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act that's what it stands for just looked it up its,proven this is no joke im doing a research project on the DREAM act and i just found this. :)
If you have committed a crime that puts you at risk of deportation prior to the date that you have taken the oath and became a US citizen, you may be deported.

Yes it was.
If his mother brought him legally (he had a visa back then) then you can get married and he can file for adjustment of status. If she brought him illegaly, there isn't much he can do except go back to the country his mother brought him from and file for a visa there.
fine and go to jail
Perhaps, it depends upon the foreign national's individual circumstances. However, marriage to a US citizen does not automatically guarantee permanent resident status nor citizenship.
