You really need an immigration lawyer.

Although not clear from your question, I presume you, yourself, are a U.S. citizen. In order to determine whether you may be able to petition for your husband in a marriage-based Immediate Relative visa application, notwithstanding his unlawful entry into the U.S. 20 years ago, more information would be needed. For example, has any family member or employer ever filed any type of application for him, and if so, when? It would be wise for you and your husband to consult with an immigration lawyer who, after learning all of the relevant information, would be able to advise you about immigration-related eligibilities, options and strategies.
