Unfortunately a murder conviction causes a lifetime bar to returning. If he does come back and is caught he will be prosecuted federally and the sentences are lenghty. There are some offenses that result in lifetime bars from reentry and murder is one of them. It would be best for you to visit him in Mexico,
