If your criminal history does not include convictions for perjury or document fraud, it has no effect on your ability to sponsor your parents. I cannot tell you, though, whether you can "fix" your parents' papers - that depends on their immigrant and criminal history and current immigrant status; and has to be discussed with an immigration attorney who would be given all the facts in the case.

If you are a US citizen and over the age of 21 you may be able to file immigrant visas for them.

This kind of criminal record will not affect your ability to file petitions for your relatives.

The incident does not prevent you from filing for your parents if they are otherwise eligible to obtain a green card through you.
