If he came to USA illegally (was not inspected, and didn't have a visa), most likely, he will have to go abroad to his home country (Mexico) to apply for an Immigrant visa.

No, he can't get any temporary visa or a work permit until the petition is approved and an appropriate immigrant visa is issued to him.

The first step would be filing of an mmigrant petition, form I-130. How long it will take and how much it will cost depends largely on his situation and eligibility.
