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.

I remember when the democrats wanted Hispanic pool boys and fruitpickers sneaking in. Now, they want Hispanic criminals sneaking in. As if we don’t already have an overabundance of criminals.
It took a Supreme Court ruling to determine that?
After deportation, what keeps them from coming right back across? A sternly-worded letter on the fence?
Glad they used a person who had committed a ‘victimless’ (so to speak) crime.
Makes it all the easier to get rid of the scumbag rapists and killers, as well as those who kill with their (most likely also illegal) vehicles.
Another GIFT from President Trump, whether the LefTards like it or not! :)
Wide Latina...ROTFL!
Being physically present in this country without citizenship,a Green Card or a valid visa is a Federal offense.And IIRC being caught here illegally after having been deported is an even *more* serious offense.
Do you *honestly* believe that this will change things even a little bit under the Feels Up/Heels Up Administration? If you do I have a bridge in Brooklyn that I’d like to sell you.
Mark down the date: March 5, 2021. The Supreme Court actually ruled correctly. A rare event, maybe the last of its kind.
Good news.
Gavin Newsom would benefit from this. He could get rid of all the illegal alien prisoners in the California penal system, freeing up billions to use for US citizens living in his state.
LOL..... just kidding
So 3 SC Justices think it’s unconstitutional to deport someone guilty of multiple crimes who is here illegally. Think about that
5 to 3 with the liberals voting against. Boy, do I detest liberal judges with no regard for the law. Their political positions and the law are one and the same to them.They are a disgusting bunch.
Just giving President Trump credit where due. At this point in America’s end game, I’ll take ANY crumb I can find. :)
I was referring to SCOTUS decisions, one good one in a row.
I do agree we’re way of 11 million, and could be as high as
45 million by now, when talking about illegals.
I generally guestimate about 30-40 million. Nobody really
knows.
Biden is talking about dissolving ICE, so who knows.
You could be dead on target.
Biden has also decided to pursue everyone sent out over the
last four years, so it would be academic if he sent them out
and then just pulled them back in.
I think the SCOTUS is going to turn rather unfriendly to
Biden, but I’d admit it’s a long shot.
Me also, frankly...
LOL with you...
I know. I’ve had to come to terms with how unfit for office
those folks are.
” what difference does it make.”
a certain loser hag who ran for president said that about our boys who got massacred by Al Qaeda. Instead of moping around with defeatism, we take any win that goes our way.
