Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

In June 1997 by boyfriend was arrested with the following counts 21:841(a)(1), 21:841(b)(1)(C) POSSESSION WITH INTENT TO DISTRIBUTE MORE THAN 50 KILOGRAMS OF MARIJUANA AND 18:2 AIDING AND ABETTING. He served his time and was transported to an immigration where he was told he had two choices, fight his immigration case or agree to voluntary removal. He was advised that fighting his immigration status would take 6 months and he would continue to be incarcerated. Based on the information he was given, he made the decision to leave voluntarily. He was advised that a ban of 15 yrs would be in effect. He accepted, they returned all of his documents, permanent resident card, social security card, and commercial driver's license. This was on 3/19/1999 and he was returned to Mexico. Since then he has not attempted to return nor has he had any criminal activity in Mexico. My question is - can he reapply for readmission under his original status as a permanent resident who was granted this adjustment status during the amnesty given by President Reagan? If not, can he reapply for the adjustment status by marriage to a US citizen?
