The Supreme Court just let Trump close the Mexican border to nearly all migrants seeking asylum
VOX ^ | Sept 11, 2019 | By Ian Millhiser

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 decision stays a lower court decision blocking a Trump administration policy that seeks to halt nearly all asylum applications from these migrants and allow the US government to require them to seek asylum in countries they travel through. 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....

I have to watch the debate. I need some comic relief this week. Fauxcahontas and Krazy Joe will be next to each other. I can just picture her flailing and screeching and windmilling her arms...and knocking out some of Joe’s hairplugs.

My method of border security is snipers and machine gunners along the fenceline. The bodies can be hoisted by copters and dropped on their side of the border. I guess there could be some international complaints with this approach.

Round up every illegal in sight in the US and summarily deport them.if necessary by air drop.

All employers employing illegals fined 15k per illegal for every day worked. Second offense 50 k each. Third offense, forfeiture of business and jail time.

Problem solved.

I have a feeling that Trump’s second term is going to be phenomenal. He may even close the border and get everything else done that he wants. He will have figured out who to surround himself with. It will be awesome beyond belief. After that... I don’t know.

Actually, I really believe the debate is going to one more major step leading up to the political destruction and death of the entire Democrat Party. CNN has truly killed itself off, no one watches anymore!!! That special congressional election in NC9thCD was won by the Republicans because of two reasons and hard campaigning.

The first reason for the victory was African-Americans voted for Dan Bishop. The second reason for the GOP victory is that African-Americans stayed home and did not turn out to vote. Dan McCready spent over 11,000,000 dollars to win this seat and was running for it for over two years. He was sold as a moderate Democrat and he was 17% points ahead of Bishop three weeks before the election. Bishop beat him by a 3% victory margin, which means Bishop came back with a 20% takeover.

Can you imagine what the vote for Trump will be with these Democrat POTUS candidates, nutcase, lunatic, America haters running against TRUMP?

Moderate (Blue Dog)Democrat in the HOUSE....switch parties now or go down to defeat with your insane, hateful democrat 2020 POTUS candidates. The Democrat POTUS debate this evening may be fun to watch & laugh at.....but, it will have little worth at the ballot box come November 3rd, 2020!!! I will not be watching.....I’ll follow Bret Baier’s follow-up after the debate on FNC from 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM. CNN commentary is simply garbage bin material and hearsay!!!

Forgot one item....Democrat, Senator, Joe Manchin...switch parties, you no longer belong in politics as a Democrat, such as I should be eating Swiss Cheese on the Moon. Do It and, reach the greatness you would never, ever, reach as a “scum & vermin, hating America...Democrat low life!!!

“It is especially concerning,” Sotomayor writes in a dissenting opinion, which Ginsburg joined, “that the rule the Government promulgated topples decades of settled asylum practices and affects some of the most vulnerable people in the Western Hemisphere—without affording the public a chance to weigh in.”

The public weighed in 08November2016......this is amazing news. Now, just start chipping away at the benefits they get, but shouldn’t and we should start seeing a trail of tears headed south, to the border.

Please let this man glide to victory in next November.

“The truth is most migrants are ineligible for asylum.”

True that, however they have been taking advantage of the catch and release process. If they can’t apply for asylum then there is no reason to release them. Catch and kick ‘em out.

“Even at that it takes them 6-8 months to make a decision that a normal person could make in a couple of minutes.”

That is because all their training makes it so difficult for them to understand the meaning of English as it was used in the past. Shall not be infringed to us means shall not be infringed but to a leftist judge it means shall not interfere with the right of the government to do whatever feels good at the moment whether it makes sense or not.

The only cases in which this won't apply are Mexican citizens claiming asylum (since there is no closer country). Soros will try to find some Mexicans who haven't applied yet.

The Supreme Court just let Trump ...

A rare accurate headline that acknowledges that our quaint idea of electing our leaders is old fashioned silliness, that our real leaders are the unelected and unaccountable people in black robes who deign to allow the people we elect to take some actions ... only some, the ones they see fit to allow.

Agree! The Dem Party is in its death throes. Losing the black vote in NC is a BIG indicator!

I still have to watch at least part of the debate. I want to see blood shooting out of Slow Joe’s eyes. I also want to see Kamala and Fauxcahontas in a hair-pulling battle royale.
