Q: I have two children with an undocumented Mexican. He desperately wants to become a citizen, If he leaves the country we
would be left unable to pay the bills as he is our primary source of income. what can we do?
A: Depending on your immigration status and your husband's immigration history, you may be able to apply for him to receive a "green card" by applying for a provisional waiver. A green card can lead to US citizenship.
Lindsay G Gray and Matthew J Hartnett agree with this answer
A: I-601A provisional waiver might be an option for you. It's a great process for undocumented immigrants who only have 1 unlawful entry into USA and have US citizen or permanent resident spouses or parents. Consider consulting with an immigration attorney to evaluate whether he qualifies for the I-601A waiver.
