He has to file a petition for permanent resident first, after 3 years of being a permanent resident (green card holder), he will be able to apply for US Citizenship as he is married to an American citizen (your mum), usually one has to be a resident for 5 years before filing a Naturalisation petition. you can check on the link below to read more about the process

Go to uscis. gov
However, I have heard that if you entered illegally they want you to leave and then apply and there could be a period of time they wouldn't give it. I think you should speak to an immigration attorney.
It sounds like he would have qualified for the 1986 amnesty, don't know if that helps after all of this time...

Sure he can! Get an application from ins.gov. He already qualifies. I welcome him to this country!
