Presidents have shown that they cannot be trusted to be responsible in using the discretion Congress has given them in immigration policy.

Haitian citizens tried to get the Supreme Court to uphold their Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation Tuesday, asking the high court to toss the Trump administration’s appeal of lower court rulings blocking its efforts to end TPS for the Caribbean country. The legal battle highlights an ongoing struggle over TPS and the backdoor mass immigration machine more broadly.
People imagine that legal and illegal immigration are separate, distinct things. But there’s a grey area between them that presidents for years have exploited to create a shadow immigration system to circumvent the limits imposed by Congress. This abuse has been going on for years, but the Biden administration dialed it up to 11.
The Trump administration is working to undo the damage caused by its predecessors, but unless Congress changes the law, the next Democrat president will just restart the shadow system.
The two pillars of this parallel, extra-legal immigration system are immigration parole and Temporary Protected Status, or TPS.
