No chance of coming to the US legally ever due to aggravated felony convictions (AF). In this type of offense, a crime of violence (COV) with sentence 1 year or longer = AF.
Even if his conviction is pre-1997, a COV with a five year or longer sentence even back then resulted in mandatory removal.
He will probably be charged with reentry. These are the ones charged with reentry these days:
1. People who are caught in the U.S. after 4 or 5 entries without inspection. (Caught in illegal status in the U.S., and removed, and caught again 4 or 5 times.)
2. Those who are caught in the U.S. again after having been removed due to criminal convictions, especially AFs.
People think it's a big mystery, but if this is your 4th or 5th time caught here in illegal status, or if you have an AF on your record, chances are you will be charged with reentry.
