Issuing an executive order for 5 million illegals not to be deported isn't 'amnesty'.
It is an temporary reprive, which can be undone with a GOP President.

Issuing an executive order for any number of illegals to not be deported is de facto amnesty.
The Congress has already surrendered the power of the purse to the executive branch and violated the Constitution itself. Pre-2008 thinking will not serve here.
