If that person re-entered the U.S. illegally again, after being deported, there is no relief for that person no legal pass to a green card right now. If that person was deported once and remains outside the U.S., and if there is no criminal history otherwise, he may be eligible for a waiver of a ten-year bar in order to be able to re-enter the U.S. if he is married to a U.S. citizen. This is not a simple process, however, and the waiver is not guaranteed, so in the worst case scenario, if this person has done nothing else wrong (no criminal history other than this one deportation), he may be stuck outside the US for ten years. If there is criminal history, or if he entered the U.S. illegally more than once, the truth is that he may never be able to return legally to the U.S. It all depends on the individual circumstances of this person.
