When you consider your siblings as minor, you are talking about under 21-year-old and unmarried correct? If so, these minors will fall into F2A category.

F2A for Mexico is around 18-24 months. What happen to my cousin's family is after getting Visa, each parent immigrates at different time. My uncle (the father) got here first to get I-551 stamp on his passport, then file I-130 the next day. After getting his green card (roughly 2 months), he came back and let the mother immigrate to get her green card. This way the minors will not be left alone. and now my cousin's family all reunited in the US after 18 month of waiting for F2A category.

Thank you this is of good help. I think this could be a good route. Maybe my dad or mom can apply for them under this category.

Also, my parents are not planning to abandon them. Either one of them are willing to take turns every two to three months to take care of them until they can arrange their visas as well. Besides, my sister is almost 21, and my other brother is 11. The 21 already works and she is independent. One of my parents will always be with the little one until they get his visa sorted, and hopefully my sister can get one too.

Your sister will be in her 40's before a visa number is available. Most likely slightly quicker for you to sponser her.
