Re: Entered illegally now married.

As a U.S. Citizen, you can apply for your husband to obtain permanent residence ("green card"). However, because he entered illegally and without inspection, he must return to his country of origin to receive his green card. You must be careful because by leaving the U.S., your husband may be prohibited from re-entering the U.S. for up to 10 years.
