From your question, it is difficult to understand where you and your husband are in the process.  Has your husband been ordered removed or did he just receive a notice to appear in Immigration Court?  If he is eligible to obtain a permanent visa in the U.S. (245i eligible or lawful entry and married to USC), he might be able to reopen his case.  What is his current status?  Was he convicted of domestic violence?  Has he been removed or deported before?  All of these issues should be sorted out with an experienced immigration attorney.  I urge to contact a local immigration attorney to assist you.

As far as burglary itself and the punishment served by the applicant, there is a conviction. Whether it is a crime of moral turpitude depends on the state law definition of burglary as depicted by applicant, Commercial Burglary 459. One has to look to the state of incidence, its criminal statute, penalties, and determine if that state has defined it as a crime of moral turpitude. For instance, there is no definition of crime of moral turpitude in New Jersey in the statute, but for immigration law purposes, there are several definitions that cannot be explained with skimpy facts described in this inquiry. So, you have to look at the state of incidence and then to the federal law, and immigration law applicable here to determine if burglary is a crime of moral turpitude. Deportation (now removal), however, depends on the facts of the case and criminal history before we can give a response. You shall consult an attorney for thorough and extensive interview to arrive at these conclusions.
