The Supreme Court just let Trump close the Mexican border to nearly all migrants seeking asylum

The Supreme Court issued an unsigned order on Wednesday evening that effectively closes the United States’ southern border to nearly all Central American asylum seekers.

The government will now be allowed to enforce the policy while legal challenges move ahead.

The administration’s rule, issued on July 16, says that almost any foreign national who arrives at the southern border may not seek asylum if they crossed through another nation to get here. There are a few limits — a migrant can seek asylum in the United States if they complete a potentially onerous legal process in another country, for example, or if they were “severe” trafficking victims — but the practical effect of the rule is to ban most migrants from seeking asylum....

“The Supreme Court just let Trump close the Mexican border to nearly all migrants seeking asylum...”

I didn’t think those lazy useless bastards made any decisions when they weren’t in session. Even at that it takes them 6-8 months to make a decision that a normal person could make in a couple of minutes.

Talking heads are exploding at CNN. Rachel Maddow placed on suicide watch and the sound coming from California is the collective rending of garments by the Hollywood leftists.

From the website Howe on the Court:

Tonight’s order drew a dissent from Justice Sonia Sotomayor (joined by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg).

Think about this for a minute: instead of hiring hundreds more federal immigration asylum attorneys, just quit allowing every single migrant who appears at our border to seek asylum, and to disappear before his/her hearing.

How huge is this?
