What is necessary for a U.S. citizen and a Mexican citizen who already has a permanent residency card in the U.S. to get married in the U.S.?
The requirements are the same as for two citizens; they will depend on the state and county where the couple wants to marry.
If a person with valid visa marries a US citizen what documents or status does he obtain right away?
That person doesn't receive anything automatically. If the citizen applies for the person to become a permanent resident, the person will receive a green card, which will allow them to obtain a social security number, driver's license, etc. The process usually takes from 1-3 years and is very expensive. If the couple has not been married for 2 years, the greencard is conditional. This means that if there is divorce within 2 years of obtaining the greencard, it will be taken away. The alien can apply for citizenship 3 years after receiving the greencard as long as s/he is still married to the same US citizen. Immigration benefits should play ABOLUTELY NO role in your decision about who and when to marry. If you get married for immigration benefits, it is considered a felony fraud, whether the citizen you married was in on it or not.
What is the effect of marriage of a citizen to an alien?
The immediate effect is that the married couple now have no place in the world where they can legally live together. The solution is for one spouse to obtain legal immigration status in the other spouse's home country. Foreign spouses of citizens are usually given preferential treatment for immigration. That is to say, it is usually easier for someone married to a citizen to obtain citizenship, than for someone who is not married to a citizen.
Do I have to marry a US citizen in America or in my country to receive my greencard?
That should not necessarily have a bearing on your greencard status. When an individual is getting their green card based on marriage, the important part is having a valid American marriage to an American and that can happen in another country if that is where you want your wedding to take place. When a U.S. citizen marries a non-U.S. citizen, the couple will have to participate in a marriage interview so the non-U.S. citizen can obtain permanent residency. The marriage interview is used to assist the immigration authorities in determining the legitimacy of the marriage.

Is a child born in Mexico a US Citizen if the child's mother is a US Citizen?
If both parents were US citizens and married before the birth, the the child is automatically a US citizen; birthplace is irrelevant. However, if only one parent was a US citizen at the time of the birth , it gets a little trickier. It depends on when the child was born (laws change), however since 1952, if the couple was married before the birth and the father meets residency requirements in the US then the child is a US citizen. Your best bet is to consult an attorney who specializes in this.Read more: Is_a_child_born_in_Mexico_a_US_citizen_if_the_child's_father_is_a_US_citizen
