If anything, a better and more radical approach is to expand the President’s pardon power to include civil law offenses and penalties. The constitution gives pardon power to the President for “offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment”. Federal courts have hinted that the pardon power could be used for civil law violations and penalties.

Since we’re skirting the constitution, I don’t see why the President couldn’t issue a blanket pardon or amnesty to a group of individuals covered under a certain guidelines that waives Immigration laws. Such a pardon would allow people who otherwise would be in violation of immigration law (unlawful entry, no lawful status, unlawfully present) to be apply for immigration benefits like legally admitted and lawful immigrants
