He has a choice. He can wait for immigration reform or you can petition him but he will have to leave and apply for a waiver. He is subject to a 10 year bar for his unlawful presence and must apply for a waiver to remove it. He can stay outside the country for a year waiting for USCIS to approve the waiver. You never really know how long it will take.

First, have a full consult with a competent immigration attorney to evaluate his case for issues, risks and also for an outline of what options he actually does have. Then you can do a freedom of information act request with both CBP and ICE to get a copy of his immigration records.
