More details to this question:
We haven’t gotten married but have been together for 7 years and we have 2 boys born in the US. I’m also a U.S citizen and 5 years ago they sent him to Mexico and he signed a voluntary form twice and was fingerprinted. He’s been living here since does he still have a change to fix papers if we get married in the US.

Once someone reenters illegally after being removed or given voluntary departure it is often impossible to fix status. You should consult an immigration attorney to be sure whether or not there are any options under your particular circumstances.

We would need to get more facts, but if he had voluntary departure and failed to leave, it's a huge problem.

It appears that your boy friend came back to the US illegally. This is not good. Just having a US wife or child will not help. You need to consult with a good immigration attorney to see if there are any waivers that may help if you marry and file for your husband to get him a green card.
