More details to this question:
The charges were here in the united states(he was here illegally) But now he''s back in Mexico. When my husband was in High School he was 17 and he was charged as an adult, he will be 24 soon, it''s been 5 years, would this disqualify him for entry? They are both misdemeanors.

The criminal offenses will probably not be a barrier to his admissability for a variety of reasons, but his unlawful presence in the US, assuming it was for 1 year or more, bars him from returning for 10 years. He can apply for a waiver of that bar if he can prove extreme hardship to a US citizen spouse (you?) or child.
