Case centers on whether recipients of Temporary Protected Status privileges are deemed to have been 'admitted' to
The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments Monday in a potential landmark immigration case that could dramatically alter the fortunes of thousands currently living in the U.S. after fleeing countries with Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
The U.S. designates certain countries for TPS if they are deemed dangerous due to conditions such as earthquakes, hurricanes, civil war or other armed conflict or other "extraordinary and temporary conditions." People from such countries who are already in the U.S. after entering illegally can receive privileges, such as employment and travel authorization, and are protected from deportation.
Circuit courts have been split over whether those who entered the U.S. illegally but now have TPS protection can apply for green cards without first leaving the U.S. and applying to come back. In the case before the court on Monday, Sanchez v. Mayorkas, the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals had ruled against green card applicants Jose Santos Sanchez and Sonia Gonzalez, reversing a lower court decision.
A key issue is whether the granting of TPS protection constitutes "admission" to the U.S. for the purposes of another statute, which allows for the adjustment of status of someone if they have been "inspected and admitted or paroled" into the U.S.
"[A] grant of TPS cannot be an ‘admission’ because § 1254a requires an alien to be present in the United States to be eligible for TPS," the Third Circuit said, referring to the statute covering TPS. "Consistent with that fact, we have recognized that TPS is not ‘a program of entry for an alien.’"

What is the Supreme Court for?
“Sure, why not?
What is the Supreme Court for?”
It currently exists to rubber stamp Democrat agenda items.
What does John Roberts think of this idea? He’s one to watch, as he’s gone liberal on us in some key cases. Stay tuned.
And I know that some on this site consider Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett too liberal in some areas of law.
The Supine Court.
Why even bother with the SCOTUS? Every last illegal will gain amnesty and citizenship. It’s only a matter of when.
The Supreme Court is a joke and should be nullified. Every day I watch my nation slowly die. I guess it had a good run historically speaking.
Any suckers taking bets on which way the ruling goes?
The only question in my mind is how many other “Republican” appointees will follow CJ Roberts.
They illegally enter, then are given protected status? WTF?
If you ask John Roberts, it’s for doing what the New World Order wants.
Especially of we keep re-electing Assistant Democrats like Micro Rubio.
I hear you, disgusting is not a strong enough word.
Willing to hear this but not any case about a stolen election
By statute, TPS applies only to persons who entered the USA lawfully and could not return because of natural disasters, etc.
Unless the statute has been changed, an illegal immigrant is still an illegal immigrant, even though he cannot return to his home country.
Tragically, Trump used political magic tricks to make a couple hundred thousand people in TPS disappear into other classifications - most of them will get Green Cards.
New immigrant citizens vote 75% Democrat.
Demographically, the Republican Party, and the USA as we once knew it, are finished.
I am slowly accepting the blunt reality that the final years of my life are going to be Every Man for Himself.
Did they say court or cult?.
Is there a plan in place to reimburse those, like my husband, who spent thousands to become citizen the legal way?
Nope.... most certainly you’ll be considered as a sap for following the rules.
As a legal immigrant who had to jump through several hoops to get US citizenship, no one can be against granting illegals legal status more than me. Get in the line and get qualified as all the legal immigrants had to.
