Yes you can get a resident and work permit for Germany, but it is very very difficult. You'd need to have a qualification that is very much in demand such as engineer or computer specialist. Bachelor is usually the minimum requirement. You have first have to find a job in Germany, then you need to apply for special skilled migrant visa at the German embassy in your country of residence. If you are serious about your girlfriend consider to get married, as marriage would give you the automatic right to live with her in Germany and also give you the right to a work permit. Another option you should look at is a job in Spain. The Spanish authorities actively recruit young university graduates and skilled workers from Mexico, once you have been working in Spain for a few years it will be a lot easier get a residency and work permit for Germany. (There are special EU regulations that make it easier to get a residency and work permit for one EU state if you have held a residency and work permit for another EU country for a certain time already.) Plus is also that your girlfriend is allowed to work and live in Spain without a residency or work permit and Spain is much closer to Germany than Mexico.
