Very arguably within the purview of his constitutional authority--though obviously an extraordinary exercise of power.

There is an argument here, but it could technically be applied to any president who hasn't diligently gone after illegal immigration (all of them). And Lincoln's issuing of a blanket amnesty to all but a few Confederate leaders, coupled with Carter's amnesty to all civilians who failed to register for selective service and/or otherwise dodged the draft serve as precedents.
