PressTV Update: US President Barack Obama says the immigration issue will end in his administration’s favor following the announcement of a delay in the implementation of his unilateral steps.

MEXICO CITY – The Mexican government on Tuesday lamented a U.S. judge’s decision to block an immigration order by President Barack Obama that would have protected millions of undocumented workers from deportation.

“These programs are a fair migration remedy for millions of families and could strengthen the contributions of Mexican migrants to the U.S. economy and society,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.

The ministry said its embassy and consular network in the United States would “keep watch on this process and the development of the next legal steps.”

The Mexican government warned its nationals against possible “migration swindles and fraud” and urged them to stay informed through its consulates.

Obama’s order was due to come into force on Wednesday, but a federal judge in Texas on Monday issued a temporary injunction that had been sought by 26 states, which claimed that the move was illegal.

The White House called the ruling wrong, saying the president had acted within his legal authority and vowed an appeal.
