On Monday, the Supreme Court unanimously rejected an illegal immigrant’s attempt to twist immigration law and create a loophole that would allow thousands of illegal immigrants to become lawful permanent residents. Democratic senators and attorneys general advocated for this loophole, but a liberal justice wrote the opinion for a unanimous Court.
“Petitioner Jose Santos Sanchez entered this country unlawfully from El Salvador. Years later, because of unsafe living conditions in that country, the Government granted him Temporary Protected Status (TPS), entitling him to stay and work in the United States for as long as those conditions persist. Sanchez now wishes to become a lawful permanent resident (LPR) of the United States. The question here is whether the conferral of TPS enables him to obtain LPR status despite his unlawful entry. We hold that it does not,” Associate Justice Elena Kagan, an Obama appointee, wrote in the opinion.
In Sanchez v. Mayorkas, Kagan noted that U.S. immigration law, “applied according to its plain terms, prevents Sanchez from becoming an LPR. There is no dispute that Sanchez ‘entered the United States in the late 1990s unlawfully, without inspection.'”
Yet Democrats and immigration activists twist the law to argue that if an illegal immigrant obtains temporary protected status due to violence or bad conditions in his or her home country, he or she can be considered “admitted” for the purposes of obtaining LPR status...

The wise Latina acquired some wisdom for once? I just saw a pig fly !!
An oinking flock of them just flew over Northern California in a massive V!
Well, that was easy.
Just because they’re pardoned for immigration or other crimes doesn’t make them legal here or citizens.
Good grief, there’s bacon in the treetops.
I also think the libs on the court may recognize that the Democrat party has lost its collective mind, and that court packing will destroy the last semblance of justice in this country. I see this as a message that if the court is packed the commudems can’t count on the left-leaning justices to vote with the new ones.
This is surprising and even more wonderful Pocahontas got stuffed .
Hmmm...
Usually the RATS have enough spies on the Court they have a rough idea what the vote is going to be and who’s arm to twist.
If its going to be a blowout, it never sees the Court.
Something has changed
Agreed, you make a great point.
Wow!
Well that was certainly unexpected.
Now the Leftist cry to add more Justices will be louder………
They would have needed at least 10 more in this case.
Biden took a shot at diluting their power.
This is payback.
I better renew my heart attack medicine prescription. Completely unbelievable that the USSC would read and follow existing law. Just stunning.
Kagan flew?
They either twist it or ignore it, but never abide by it.
It appears that the SCOTUS - including all the Commie plants - is engaging in a little political warfare of their own, warning off the Rats from the intimidation games they have been playing.
It will be a long long time if ever for the Rats to pack the court. In the meantime, the Robed Ones can really deep six every little initiative they have, leading to a Republican resurgence in the next election cycle.
So this is the second unanimous defeat of the usual legal chiseling that the crimithugs engage in.
The heads must be spinning off over in Shoomerland. But they’re between a rock and a hard place: the court is the only way they have been able to prevail in the last 55 years. Now that they’re going hard line, that means nothing good happens for them. And you can expect Judge Benitez’ decision to be upheld as well, meaning that Feinstein’s signature destruction of American rights will end up in the dustbin of history.
Time will tell if this moderates the behavior of the Kamala Harris Gangsta Thug wing of the Rat party. My guess is that it won’t, they will go full Chavez on the court. After all..they’re Third Worlders, restraint is not in their vocabulary. They just managed to steal a landslide election in full view and then blame it all on the victim (”Extremists”), so rolling the SCOTUS...they’ll try.
9-0?............................A squeaker..................
Yeah, if "bad conditions" were sufficient to claim asylum, the entire populace of Chicago could simply apply for - oh, wait...
