As long as you are still enrolled in school, there is no legal basis for you to have to return to your home country.   The threat to have you deported is an empty threat.

How can I marry a foreigner who is already living in the US for school with a visa?

Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
It is not completely clear from your questions what your and your fiance's goals are. Generally, one may get a marriage license in Georgia and become married in Georgia when one of the spouses is here in a valid F-1 visa. It will be very difficult, however, for a foreign student to get a renewal of his F1 student visa or to re-enter the U.S. on an F1 visa if he is married to a U.S. citizen, since there may be a presumption that he intends to reside permanently in the U.S. and that is incompatible with an F1 visa. If you and he may be interested in your fiance may be interested in your fiance becoming a lawful permanent resident (getting a "Green Card"), there are multiple options for going forward, each with its pros and cons, and issues relating to timing. To address this in more detail, including review of eligibility issues, it would be wise to consult with an immigration attorney. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.

How do I go about marrying an illegal alien?

Getting a Texas ID card does not give your fiancee "permission to be here" nor does it authorizes her to work either. In most cities, you only need one valid form of ID in order to get married. It should not matter that your fiancee does not have any immigration status yet. After you have been married, you can start the immigration process by submitting an I-130 relative petition on her behalf to the USCIS. If she entered the US illegally and you are a US citizen, she will eventually need to apply for and get approved a provisional waiver on form I-601A before returning to her home country for the visa interview at the US consulate. In order to get an I-601A waiver approved, she will need to establish that you would suffer extreme hardship in the event that she is not allowed to return to the US within 10 years.
