Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. With that being said, your boyfriend has a number of things going against him. (1) He is here illegally, which will make him deportable if he is ever apprehended. (2) He made a false claim of citizenship. (3) He lied to a Border Patrol Agent. I strongly suggest that your boyfriend contact an experienced attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding his situation. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze his case and advise you of your options.
