WTF is vague about crime of violence or the intent of a foreign prototerrorist to access America via crime instead of work?

These morons are breeding terrorists

There is no right to become American, it is an earned privilege.

Gorsuch is obviously another scumbag scam globalist

WTF is vague about crime of violence”

Well, for starters, burglary is not inherently a crime of violence. The government tried to make the argument that this statute was vague enough to allow the agency to define certain crimes including burglary as “violent” regardless of any likelihood of violence or actual violence involved. The Court determined that if the statue was vague enough to be defined that arbitrarily, then it was too vague to be enforceable. Which is almost certainly what Scalia would have decided. Congress can easily rewrite the law to make it more specific. The agency could have just as easily tried to deport the guy under another statute, they could have accused him of a crime of moral turpitude and achieved the same outcome under the same facts. Having conservatives on the court doesn’t mean the courts will back whatever outcomes seem the most conservative. It’s not their job to back the government on policy issues.

I suggest you read Gorsuch’s opinion. He comes down solidly on civil liberties and the rule of law.
