President
Barack Obama said Tuesday that the “law is on our side and history is
on our side” when it comes to immigration, in defiant comments made
shortly after his administration
temporarily halted its new immigration policy in response to a court
ruling.
“This
is not the first time where a lower court judge has blocked something
or attempted to block something that ultimately is going to be lawful
and I’m confident that
it is well within my authority,” Obama said in comments from the Oval
Office with Attorney General Eric Holder.
A
Texas judge ordered an injunction Monday against the President’s
executive actions that would allow millions of undocumented immigrants
to stay in the country. The Department
of Homeland Security then announced that it would halt plans to begin
implementing Obama’s policy.
“We’re
not going to disregard this federal court ruling. The law is the law in
this country, and we take things a step at a time,” Obama said. “But we
are doing the preparatory
work because this is a big piece of business.”
