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...

Deep State threw us another bone.
Why not?
It’s not like can’t rectify this when it suits them.
Holy smokes, does this mean hell has frozen over?
Interesting; the other unanimous decision against a non-US citizen that came from the SC on 5/24 was written by Sotomayor.
One immigration / citizenship case is hardly payback.
This is a clear statement to POTUS and the ComDem revolutionaries about tampering with the court.
Like Portland? Minneapolis?
Ctrl/Sth America has been a mess for decades and will continue to be so. They seem unable to resist corruption and crime down there. Sadly, we seem to be catching up quickly.
Senators again!
As mentioned in other threads, how could the country possibly have survived without the 17th Amendment. /super-sarc
I just want ACB, frat boy and Gorsuch to understand that THEY are the ones at the top of the lamppost list. Their feckless betrayal is unforgiveable.
They outlawed water-boarding (except for the CIA).
It seems, but may not be the reason, that all the talk about packing the Supreme Court pissed the court off a little. Not just this decision but a few other just recently released.
Good. They kicked the can on the election fraud for now. And biden is letting 100k per day flow over the border. Who is going to round them up when it’s time.
Yes.
I've doubted the wisdom in Turley's analysis, but I think you've spotted it. There would be major backlash if Ds pack the Supreme Court, and if there's no guarantee of the result, that price likely isn't worth the risk.
Wow! Didn’t think about that but makes perfect sense.
That was Kamala on air force does
I dont know about you but that looks like fun
She only eats kosher kitty kat ?
