The Supreme Court on Thursday made it easier to deport illegal immigrants who have been convicted of a crime.
Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the opinion for a 5-3 conservative majority that ruled against a Mexican citizen who entered the U.S. illegally and has lived in the country for 25 years.
The man, Clemente Avelino Pereida, had been charged in Nebraska with using a fraudulent Social Security card to get a job and convicted under a state law against criminal impersonation.
Illegal immigrants with criminal convictions who are facing deportation can ask the attorney general to allow them to remain in the U.S. if the conviction wasn’t for a serious crime and if they have lived in the country at least 10 years, among other criteria.
Gorsuch wrote for the court that Pereida failed to prove he was not convicted of a serious crime.
Under immigration law, “certain nonpermanent aliens seeking to cancel a lawful removal order must prove that they have not been convicted of a disqualifying crime,” Gorsuch wrote.
In a dissent for the three liberal justices, Justice Stephen Breyer wrote that the court instead should have ruled for Pereida because he was convicted under a law that includes serious offenses and less serious ones.

Well, there’s one in a row...
Biden is refusing to enforce the law. Little can be done now, but this behavior is a legitimate basis for impeachment and conviction.
Isn’t that a moot point now that Brock 0’Biden is letting illegals who test pos for CV19 come in unrestricted?
I thought the Supreme Court didn’t do moot anymore!?
5 + 3 = 8
Or is it 9?
“Justice Amy Coney Barrett did not take part in the case because she had not yet joined the court when the case was argued in October.”
Would that stop the Wide Latina? I don’t think so.
At the end of the article, it says Amy Coney Barrett did not participate because she had not yet joined the court when the case was heard in October.
You beat my post.
Thanks for sharing.
“...using a fraudulent Social Security card to get a job and convicted under a state law against criminal impersonation.”
Illegal aliens voting should also be considered a serious crime. At the very least, they should be deported and denied any chance of citizenship in the future. There should be zero tolerance when it comes to voting. JMO.
Based on what I read illegal aliens can be deported for being covicted of committing a crime. Since they have all committed a crime by crossing the border illegally, all one has to do is charge them and convict them and they can all be sent back
Crossing our border illegally is a crime.. problem solved.
One out of 45 million...ROTFLMAO!
At this point, what difference does it make. Biden will force the Neanderthals to accept “migrants” of whatever stripe into their Neanderthal bosoms.
You don’t believe any deportations will ever really happen, do you? Any “decision” that comes from the totally corrupt USSC is a farce.
was Roberts at the Bathhouse?
was his beard working on more satellite treason?
why is Malta in charge of SCOTUS?
why has the MIL not arrested Roberts, his beard, and
the other STEALERS OF THE 2020 ELECTION??????

______________________________________________________
Illegal aliens voting is the sole purpose of the Democrat’s opening the border and their entire immigration policy. Goal is to get as many illegals here, grant them citizenship and let them vote in more Democrats.
The Dems are not stupid; evil, yes; not stupid. They know the current harm their immigration policies are doing to the country, but a permanent democrat hold on power is all that matters.
Border states can go to Hell, as far as their concerned.
“Well, there’s one in a row...”
Yeah, I’m surprised.
So three USSC justices ruled that the U.S. Constitution does not protect American citizens from illegal aliens who are guilty of serious crimes against American citizens ... right?
