Yes, he can be removed (deported) if he is in USA illegally (it's not clear from your question: what is his status in USA).
Is his wife a USA citizen or a foreign citizen? What criminal record he has?
No, he can't become a USA citizen. A first step for a foreign citizen would be to become a lawful permanent resident (if eligible to apply). Then, after a number of years, a person is usually eligible for citizenship.
Having a criminal record, he needs to consult an immigration attorney before applying for any immigration benefits.
