It sounds like he was deported for having comitted an "aggravated felony", in which case he is bared from returning to the US for life.  The only way to overcome that bar is to challenge the underlying criminal conviction.  

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration/criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your arrest/case/situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case, (and) advise you of your options (and, if possible, make sure that the necessary paperwork and documentation is presented so as not to delay the process).

The honest answer is "No". If you are in the U.S. without a legal status, there is no program for changing it through an investment or a business enterprise. Depending on details of your case (how and when did you come to the U.S., your country of origin, age, education, family status, etc.), there might be a solution to your problem, but you should discuss these matters in the privacy of an attorney's office, not on-line.
