How the Supreme Court’s Latest Rulings Are Changing Immigration
Recent decisions are changing the legal landscape

Last Thursday, the Supreme Court made two major rulings in favor of the Trump administration’s immigration efforts. The Court ruled in favor of the administration being able to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Syrian migrants in the case of Mullin v. Doe,and upheld the administration’s use of “metering,” a policy that gives the federal government discretion over when and how asylum seekers may seek entry at the U.S.-Mexico border, in Mullin v. Al Otro Lado.

Put together, these decisions will fundamentally alter immigration into the U.S., with fewer waves of asylum seekers and stronger control at the border.

After the TPS ruling, which was decided 6-3 along ideological lines, takes effect in a month, around 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians will lose their work authorization and no longer be protected from deportation. Just ending TPS for Haiti and Syria isn’t the end goal, however. The Trump administration will be looking into TPS cases from several other countries as well, which could affect 1.3 million people.



America’s immigration policy has become stricter, making the continent look less and less like a haven of escape for people with troubling situations in their home countries. Lower court judges had alleged that decision to end TPS came from a place of bigotry.

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson countered those accusations, saying, “Today, the Supreme Court affirmed what President Trump has always maintained: temporary protected status is, by definition, temporary. It was never intended to be a pathway to permanent status or legal residency and it is committed to the discretion of the Secretary of Homeland Security. The Trump Administration continues to lawfully end the egregious abuses to our immigration system.”

But they completely FUBAR'd that with the complete disaster of the birthright decision.

I wouldn't have liked but could have handled if they limited birthright citizenship to those with some kind of legal status that at least would limit and structure the concept within our immigration system.

What they did was essentially allow the fruit of the poisonous tree by rewarding the spawn of illegality with legality. Now instead of structured you have something completely uncontrolled, regulated, an anarchic now encoded in a national judicial ruling. What they ruled was the very opposite of what the definition of law is, and left a bleeding wound for America to deal with for the indefinite future.

Then they tried to polish that turd by patronizing and condescending us with long spiels about tradition and precedent, trying to make it look legally solid and reasoned. The reality is it that it's Roberts playing social politics...again... by worrying about the reaction of the nuttybar Left to a decision they didn't like.

It was not a decision of reason, but one of cowardice that will lead to far more anarchy than they were ever afraid of.
