Why do Mexican immigrants need a green card?
Every immigrant needs a green card. It is a document which allows you to legally live in the country and get a job. I'm an immigrant too by the way. A United States Permanent Resident Card, known popularly as Green Card, is an identification card for a permanent resident of the United States of America who does not have U.S. citizenship. It is proof that the holder has permission to permanently reside and take employment in the U.S. Its former official title was Alien Registration Receipt Card, and it is now officially called a Permanent Resident Card, also referred to as form I-551. The name "green card" comes from the fact that the predecessor form, I-151, was printed on green paper. Form I-551 was adopted in 1977 and has been printed on paper of various colors, none of which were green, but the term "green card" has nonetheless remained in use. As of 2006, the card is mostly white and the only prominent green feature is the lettering on the back. A card includes the holder's name and photograph, and other information, and has been updated over the years with numerous anti-counterfeiting devices. The card must be in the possession of the U.S. permanent resident at all times. This means the U.S. permanent resident must have a currently valid card on their person at all times, to show to a USCIS officer, if requested. One interesting aspect of American law is that permanent residents are required to carry identification cards, but citizens are not. This is because citizens are entitled to more constitutional rights than permanent residents, who are still classified as aliens. Before Sept. 11, 2001, while status was checked when one returned from foreign travel, the requirement to carry the green card was practically never enforced when the resident was traveling domestically. After Sep 11, 2001, officials from the US Department of Homeland Security began to occasionally ask people if they were US citizens or not, and in the latter case require that the person present their Permanent Resident Card or other proof of legal status. Green cards were formerly issued by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). That agency has been absorbed into and replaced by the new U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), formerly the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS), in the Department of Homeland Security. If an alien wants to work while his application for a green card is pending, an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is needed.
The Social Security Administration does not issue "vanity" SS numbers or numbers you choose. One reason is because the majority of US citizens, now, receive an SS number when still a child (the SSA won't wait until someone is all grown up to ask for a specific number). But the most important reason is that, other than the first 3-digits (which tells the state that issued the number), every SS number is random and unique for that individual. You retain the same Social Security Number from the date of issue....to beyond your death...e.g. forever. Even if you lose your card, you get reissued the same number on a new card.
If we each could "pick" our own number, there would be:

Does a green card give you a Social Security number?
Not automatically; However, a "green card" (lawful permanent residency for aliens) makes someone elligible for a "right to work" social security number. One must request it at a Social Security office. A green card does not make you eligible for a "right to work" social security number. The "right to work" social security number is given to an alien that has received a "work authorization document". Having a green card will make you eligible for a regular social security number, with no restrictions related to it. In most of the cases when you are applying for a Green card, you might already have a Social Security number (this apply when the Permanent residence is through adjustment of status). This number will be the same when you get your permanent residence, only that if you had restrictions to work it will change to NO restrictions. If you are applying to a Green card though marriage, you will be entitled to apply to your social Security number once you receive the letter of approval from the USCIS
Can you vote if you are from another country attending college?

How do you get green card in us?

Individuals who obtain a Green Card through marriage to a U.S. Citizen are granted "Conditional" Green Card status, which is only valid for two years. Individuals who have been granted Conditional Green Card Status are required to apply to remove the Conditions on their Green Card within 90 days of the date that their Conditional Permanent Resident status expires.After conditions are removed the applicant is issued a green card valid for 10 years.If married to U.S. Citizen you may apply after 3 years with valid green card for US citizenship.
Lastly, you also can win green card through green card lottery which is once in a year chance.

Since its founding in 1993, PARDS has assisted immigration attorneys and applicants for asylum, withholding of removal, relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT), suspension of deportation, and cancellation of Removal to discern the meritorious nature of their claims, and document the authenticity of those found to have merit by country-specific experts.

Most countries will welcome immigrants who bring skills that are in demand and in short supply in those countries and who are well-educated and can fend for themselves financially.
Most anti-immigration laws in practically every Western country concern illegal immigrants and political (but in reality more often economic) refugees from Third World-countries, people with often little or no skills that are of any use in the country of arrival and who in consequence will be mostly a drain on its social security systems.

What makes an alien an illegal alien?
Immigration laws vary by country, but in general an illegal alien is one who is not in a recognized immigration status in their host country. This can happen when the alien enters the country without permission, or enters with permission but does not leave when the time for their legal stay expires.
There are many types of legal status short of citizenship. Examples in the U.S.A. would include aliens visiting on tourist visas, aliens present on business or employment visas, and students and researchers visiting on education-based visas. These are all "legal" aliens.
It should also be noted that "illegal" and "criminal" are not strictly synonymous. Crossing the U.S. border illegally is a crime, while overstaying a visa is a civil rather than a criminal offense. A more commonplace example of this legal distinction would be the difference between say double parking and driving under the influence of alcohol. Both are illegal, but only the latter is criminal (laws in your jurisdiction may vary).
How does an illegal immigrant become legal after getting married in USA?
It depends on what type of illegal you are. There are 2 types: 1) entry without inspection (a person sneeking across the border) and 2) overstay (entry into the U.S, was legal but the stay became illegal (i.e. staying in the U.S. after tourist visa expires)
Only the 2nd type of illegal can become legal, and then ONLY IF the spouse is a citizen. The citizen spouse would need to file a I-130 and I-485 petition for you.
Actually, there is a way for the first type of illegal to ATTEMPT legal status (unlike the second type where a green card is a sure thing (baring anything negative in the immigrant's background). The illegal would need to return to his country of origin and try to get a I-601 waiver by showing extreme hardship to his citizen spouse. The drawback is that if it is denied, the illegal must stay in that country and can be prevented from entry for either 3 or 10 years. The other way is for the illegal to surrender to ICE and attempt a cancellation of removal (deportation). The drawback to this is if the waiver is denied, the illegal will be deported, and the deportation itself might bar him from any future entry into the U.S.
