Not hardly. The President can issue pardons, and he could issue general clemency for all persons guilty of illegal entry and for all illegal immigrants guilty of anything, but that alone wouldn’t give the illegals such rewards as law now prohibits. And the President cannot issue executive orders that contradict any Act of Congress.

"And the President cannot issue executive orders that contradict any Act of Congress"

A large percentage of executive orders do exactly that.
