As a US citizen, you can sponsor an alien for U.S. Green Card for the the immediate relatives of a U.S. citizen, such as: parents, spouses and children (who are unmarried and under 21 years of age) of a U.S. citizen. You can also sponsor married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens; and brothers/sisters of U.S. citizens, including their spouses and their minor children. But as a convicted felon, most likely you are in jail, with little or no income. So it is difficult for you to "sponsor" an alien financially. The USCIS Form I-864 - Affidavit of Support is required for family-sponsored Immigration. An affidavit of support is a guarantee to U.S. government that an immigrant will not become a public charge. The affidavit could be offered by the petition sponsor or someone who could provide financial assistance to the immigrant in the event that such help would be necessary. All petitioners, regardless of whether or not they have been working or living in the U.S. since the past three years, must submit a notarized Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, for the beneficiaries of the petitions.

Felons are indeed allowed to sponsor their immigrant wife. The only time he may be hindered from doing so is if he had been charged with a violent crime.

If you can find a sponsor you can go ahead and apply, but at this point in history - it seems VERY unlikely you would be approved.

Can a permanent resident alien who is convicted of a felon reenter us after being removed?

The alien would need a waiver for the crime, and it is up to the discretion of the government to grant or deny such a waiver. If the crime was for money laundering, marriage fraud, false claim of citizenship, or drug smuggling, then a waiver would NEVER be granted.

What criminal felony can make one lose their citizenship?

No. A Convicted felon may lose certain rights for a limited period of time, but almost all are restored at the end of the probation or parole period. or when the sentence has been completely served. Felons may lose the right to vote for a period of time, or lose the right to associate with other felons. Felons lose their right, forever, of owning or possessing a firearm or ammunition, under Federal law. If a convicted felon is a person who is not a US citizen, but who is allowed here under a VISA or has a green card, THEY can lose their right to remain in the US after being convicted of a felony.
