Get rid of them both. All illegal aliens must go. It is the law.
The President has authority to grant both pardons as well as clemency and repreive from federal crimes under Article II, Section 2, clause 1 of the US Constitution. Given that immigration is subject to federal law, and those that break it are breaking a federal law, it is entirely within the President's power to provide reprieve and clemency to people who break said law. The President has all the authority in the world to grant clemency to specific groups of people.
Does that apply to foreign nationals?
