Actually an illegal Mexican can get a passport from the Mexican Consulate regardless of their legal status. All they need is to show proof of their Mexican citizenship(e.g. birth certificate. The people working at the consulate also Mexican diplomats and they will not question their legal status in the US, therefore they will NOT report anyone to any American authority. When someone is the consulate of their country of citizenship they are protected by their countries laws . For example, a citizen in Los Angeles consulate is protected under Mexican law, you can say that you are in Mexico when you are in a Mexican consulate or embassy.

Actually, while pretty much all of the above is correct, the answer confuses Consulate and Embassy. The Embassy of a country (and, there is only ONE inside any other country) is considered "native" soil, and thus, a sovereign part of that nation. So, the Mexican Embassy in Washington D.C. is considered part of Mexico, and all Mexican laws (and NO U.S. laws) apply when you are on its grounds. However, this is NOT TRUE for Consulate Offices (which are usually found in most major cities). They are merely business offices, though they would be staffed by (at least one) officially-recognized Mexican diplomats. As such, they have no special status, and are legally part of the U.S., not Mexico. Thus, a U.S. police officer can arrest someone inside a Mexican Consulate.
