So someone wants to know how to quit breaking the law? Getting married will not necessarily change anything. If he applies for a green card he could find himself deported. From what country is he?

Amnesty

I thought Amnesty is to help someone who entered in this country illegally long time ago and will issue him/her a Green Card.

Short answer: Nope.

Immigration

I think they are real marriage but just a bit different. Some states like California, Iowa & others already open the door for SSM. I wonder what will happen if they get married and he applies for a Green Card. If the immigration does not approve his case, will he get deported? It will be very sad since they have been together for 21 years long. I heard there is a waiver for deportation if someone came in prior 1996. Not sure if it is true.

What they need to do - because it's nigh-on-impossible to list every possible permutation on a message forum - is sit down with an immigration attorney before they decide on anything.
