Yes, they failed on birthright citizenship, but this is still a major win.
The Supreme Court has delivered a stunning victory for American sovereignty that every Donald J. Trump voter should cheer.
In its bold 6-3 Mullin v. Doe ruling on June 25, the Republican-appointed justices allowed Trump’s administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti and Syria. Far more importantly, they slammed the door on endless judicial sabotage of immigration law enforcement.
This is not some narrow tweak.
The decision broadly shields the entire TPS program from most court meddling, granting the executive branch sweeping authority over designations, terminations, and extensions for every country involved. It affects well over a million beneficiaries and guts the left’s favorite backdoor for flooding America with third-world migrants.
Lower courts in New York and Washington, D.C., had done exactly what Democrats counted on. District judges and appellate panels, overwhelmingly appointed by blue presidents, blocked Trump’s terminations. They claimed procedural failures and waved around accusations of racial bias, especially regarding Haiti. These jurists kept hundreds of thousands shielded from their lawful deportation while lawsuits dragged on for months.
The Supreme Court cut through the nonsense.
Justice Samuel Alito’s majority opinion made clear that the TPS statute bars judicial review of presidential determinations. No more activist judges playing immigration czar. The dissenting liberals waxed poetic about immigrant vulnerability and arbitrary executive power. They failed to mention that the real arbitrary power belonged to Democrat administrations that twisted a temporary humanitarian program into permanent relocation.
Democrats weaponized TPS for years.

A quick Google search rendered the following:
“On the Court’s “shadow docket” (emergency orders), Trump holds an approximate 90% success rate (21-2 record).
Lower courts have ruled against the administration in roughly 60% of cases, making the Supreme Court a critical venue for reversing these defeats.”
Yes, the birthright citizenship was a hard loss for Trump’s agenda - but ending TPS was not. Now, does the admin have the will to start mass deportations?
This article reminds me that there are battles in the trenches. We win some and lose some.
The Democrats celebrate every failure to America and Americans. Trump loves America and Americans. He has the right instincts, drive, and grasp of details.
Whether the Republican party and ordinary Americans will take up the fight remains to be seen. I will definitely vote Republican.
I have ambivalence to giving money to the Republican party. Too many Republican politicians are only concerned about their own political fiefdoms. Kemp in Georgia and McConnell in Kentucky are good examples. Given a choice between hanging together or hanging separately, they choose to take their chances with the latter.
AI says there are currently 1.3 million recipients living here.
How many new citizens did they spew forth while here?
That is what I show as well:

Foreign born politicians shouldn't be either.
“Words mean something” was the big winner.
There are too many who say that words change meaning and mean what they (but not others) choose those words to mean.
