No, unfortunately, you or they can't obtain residency.

Because all of you entered the USA illegally and, I assume, no one ever had petitioned for you, you are not eligible for a green card through adjustment of status. Even marriage to a US citizen will likely require going back to your home country and applying for a visa.

If and when the Congress will pass the DREAM Act, then maybe your children will have a chance to legalize their status.
