The short answer is yes. You may even become "illegal" yourself, as marrying someone for the sole purpose of circumventing US Immigration laws is a federal offense.
There is a legal method for a citizen to marry a non-citizen, but it requires that you follow a particular procedure. If you want to marry a non-citizen, you should contact the Department of Immigration for details on how to proceed; the exact steps depend on where you'll be getting married and what the current visa status of the non-citizen is.
In any case, marrying someone does not automatically make them a citizen. It does make them eligible for permanent resident status (conditional, if you've been married for less than two years).
