An illegal immigrant would not gain legal status by marrying a felon because of a felon is not recognized as a citizen of his or her country and it is the same with the illegal immigrant he or she is not recognized as a legal immigrant.

If such a union exist then there would be severe penaltiies for both couple,a deportation and even more years in prison

Does the felon have the ability? Yes. There are certainly ways this can be accomplished. And, anyone can certainly enter into marriage with just about anyone in the US (with exceptions to same genders in most states).

However, the marriage will not afford any form of protections for the undocumented spouse.

There is also something else to consider: illegal status with Immigration in the US is considered a felony. As such, the convicted felon, if on parole, would be prohibited by parole stipulations from even having contact with a person in such status.
