Lawyers - does this make sense?

Generally speaking, yes. Most if not all of the provisions in the Bill of Rights start off with "No person.....", not "No citizen...."

Eg, "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without Due Process of Law".

And as someone already said, the judge isn't in any way condoning illegal immigration. He's doing what he's mandated by law to do, stay an order that's being separately challenged in a court until such time its legality is determined. What he's saying is that if the law is later held invalid, enforcing it now will do damage that can't be remedied later on if the law is struck down. That is the legal standard for issuing an injunction.
