Supreme Court: White House Can Contine to Set Immigration Priorities

[wing2000]

The court just blew up another MAGA talking point.....

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled for the Biden administration in an important immigration case, saying Texas and Louisiana lacked the legal standing to challenge the executive branch’s priorities on who should be deported.

At issue is a Biden administration policy that says the Department of Homeland Security should focus on arresting recent border crossers and immigrants who pose a threat to public safety, rather than the millions of other noncitizens who have lived here for years.

“Across 25 years and five presidential administrations, the agency has never implemented the INA in the manner that [the states] suggest,” Solicitor General Elizabeth B. Prelogar said during oral arguments. “Given congressional funding choices, it would be impossible for DHS to do so.”

Did they? Seems like they just verified it...

If you are the president and...


1. You can prioritize legal procedures within federal agencies.

2. You allow millions of asylum seekers to flood the court system despite their lack of legitimate reasons.

3. Telling authorities to ignore the millions already here is not just dumb, it's completely negligent. The president is the problem. He's why there's a crisis at the border, he's why human traffickers are making inroads across the nation, he's why child labor is being legalized.

All anyone has to do to get past the border is apply for asylum...then once released into the country, you're part of the "millions already here" and no one will deport you. It's not only dumb, it shows where the problem is....

Sitting at the desk of the president.

Did they? Care to quote from the decision...as opposed to pushing your reality?

Nope....taking it as presented in the OP. The president is allowed to prioritize immigration enforcement as he chooses therefore he's to blame for the lack of any substantial immigration enforcement. That's why republican governors tried to go around him.

We'll probably find out in a year that Hunter was the advisor for a taco stand in Mexico that he earned a whopping 10 million dollars from.

It's a myth to assert the Executive Branch can enforce 100% of immigration laws with current funding. The reality is, Homeland Security has to prioritize just like any other organization in the public or private sector.

The point didn't blow Trumps agenda up, it's on rounding up current illegal aliens

The rounding up is going to take place when Trump is elected in 2024 and installed in Jan 2025, the Supreme Court last year that illegal aliens have no path to obtain green cards or citizenship

Sure, any President can pretend that all illegal immigrants can be rounded up with the current resources allocated in the budget. Just as he can pretend a wall is going to stop illegal immigrants.

The rounding up is going to take place when Trump is elected in 2024 and installed in Jan 2025, the Supreme Court last year that illegal aliens have no path to obtain green cards or citizenship

Cite the case where the Supreme Court decided that? Hint: they didn't. It's up to the Congress.

Supreme Court Rules Illegal Immigrants Cannot Apply for Green Card Despite Being Granted Temporary Protected Status​

June 8, 2021

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Monday that recipients of temporary protected status (TPS) who entered the U.S. illegally are not eligible to apply for a green card to remain in the U.S. permanently.

While Jose Santos Sanchez, who entered the country illegally in 1997, argued in Sanchez v. Mayorkas that having been granted TPS in 2001 meant he met the requirement, Justice Elena Kagan said on behalf of the Court that the law was clear that it did not.

Natives of El Salvador, Sanchez and Gonzalez illegally entered the U.S. in 1997 and 1998 respectively and later received temporary protected status in 2001 due to conditions in their native country; El Salvado is one of 12 countries from which citizens are eligible for TPS.

The couple, who have lived in New Jersey for more than 20 years, were denied when they applied for a green card, with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services arguing they had not been “admitted” to the country.

The case above was specific to those who entered illegally under TPS based on the current immigration laws. I agree. My point is Congress has the power to change the law.
