Obama told a town hall-style audience that the Justice
Department has appealed a Texas court decision stopping his move
to allow as many as 4.7 million undocumented immigrants to stay
in the country and obtain work permits.
“That will take a couple of months” to file and argue the case,
he said.
"We expect to win," he said, promising the audience that his
administration would continue to fight the case even if the
appeal fails.
