A Quick Reflection on a Dissenter in the Supreme Court's Asylum Ruling
By Dan Cadman on September 12, 2019
I'm sure others, including some of the bright minds here at our Center, will have a great deal to say now that a majority of the Supreme Court has agreed to allow the Trump administration to "just say no" to aliens who want to cross the southern land border illegally and then claim asylum, effectively forcing them to await a hearing outside of the United States.
It also effectively disincentivizes illegal entry, which is all to the good given the massive burden that has been imposed on our federal immigration agencies in recent years.
I'm pleased of course, and especially so since it is a pointed message to the district court judge in San Francisco, hundreds of miles from the border, who imposed a nationwide injunction on the administration's policy. That injunction was struck down by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and sent back with the admonition that the injunction was overbroad. The judge then stuck his finger in their eye by attempting to re-impose the ban nationally.
