If your argument is legality -- then it seems amnesty solves it by satisfying the legal requirement.

YEAH! That's it! Lets just ignore the immigration laws we're not enforcing alltogether! Its like a warden saying to a prisoner who was convicted of a felony "There are too many prisoners, so we're going to let you go and all the prisoners currently in prison...and set you all free so that we'll have the space for all the future convicts."

Anything else?

*rolls eyes*

Your analogy is wrong. Congress has the power to draft law and the President sign it. If they pass a law that says people illegally in the country have X days to apply for special status then its legal for them to do so.
