The Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Monday that noncitizens who have been granted temporary humanitarian relief from deportation cannot use the process known as “adjustment of status” to obtain lawful permanent residency in the United States without leaving the country. The court ruled in Sanchez v. Mayorkas that adjustment of status is reserved for those who were inspected at the border and admitted to the United States by an immigration officer, thus disqualifying the majority of those granted Temporary Protected Status. Justice Elena Kagan wrote the opinion for the court.

The government, however, denied the couple’s subsequent application to use the adjustment-of-status process in order to transition from temporary to permanent residency without leaving the United States. Immigration officials ruled that the couple’s original unauthorized entry disqualified them from adjustment of status. The government relied on the text of Immigration and Nationality Act Section 1255(a), which restricts the in-country adjustment-of-status process to noncitizens who were “inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States.”

What has the GOP ever done to make you believe that THEY don't also want to "flood the country with wetbacks"?
Trump had the southern border sealed tighter than a....well,you know.
I’m sure this puts a wrinkle in Biden’s plans to increase his voter base.
I bet they ignore this ruling.
What happens when a sponsor brings over a fiance, they get married. Then on the day she received her conditional green card, she packs up and splits. The husband then files divorce. After 2-years, the divorced immigrant goes to her adjustment of status interview to get the conditions removed? BTW, the 2-card is granted because she was married. That was the condition and it desolved during this time-frame.
Curious minds wanna know.
The SCOTUS actually Ruled that People don’t get to benefit from breaking the Law? Time to buy a Powerball Ticket.
obtain lawful permanent residency in the United States without leaving the country

Well, one can “leave” the country simply by stepping across the border and then coming right back in.
9-0 could mean that the Rat Party’s decision to flood this country with wetbacks ain’t gonna fly

They’ve already flooded the country — and with lots of Republican help. The truth is we have no idea how many people have flooded in but its a huge number that is growing by the hour. For the Dems, its almost Mission Accomplished.
The only risk to the Dems now is hispanics deciding they don’t like what the liberals are doing the land of opportunity. I actually think there’s a good chance of them rejecting Democrats and their crazy policies that remind the immigrants of the nasty socialist regimes back home.
This could describe blacks in America pre-1964 before the "Great Society" ravaged black communities everywhere, especially in urban areas.
I'm sure you're right. Who is going to make sure the court's decision is enforced?
Nobody!!
I cannot imagine hispanics, who largely came here for economic reasons, would want or support the wholesale reset of this country the liberals are pushing for. The hispanics came here for opportunity, not for the radical, wacked out social ideas the liberal elites champion.
I think a lot hispanics know what the Dems are really all about and they’re not going to board that train.
It’s simply a tip off to what the Dem-Rats in Congress need to do.
Add in the Bush League COC Pubbies and just modd the law, retroactively.
That being said, there is a "loophole" that unscrupulous people use. If the immigrant spouse alleges abuse by the US citizen spouse, the law allows the conditions to be removed without the marriage being intact (I seem to remember that they can petition immediately and not wait the two years, but I am not positive on that). This sounds like a normal idea, except USCIS supposedly will take any specious evidence of abuse as proof (for example, a police report about a domestic disturbance...no conviction required).
As soon as the Marxist Democrats realize their mistake, they will be SCREAMING to build a wall, high, wide, with artillery on top and land mines along the bottom!!

Led by Cryin’ Chuck Schumer.
It’s odd that no one ever mentions Obamas ban on Cuban refugees. Somehow, trump overlooked it as it wasn’t reversed. The main goal was stopping potential Republican voters and a mionr goal kissing Castros ass.
Good analysis.
I think it might be just a logical ruling. Temporary, undocumented residents from (and loyal to, who’s kidding who) a foreign country can’t vote in American elections and have no right to preferential employment granted green-card holders.
Waiting for a response from the governor of the colonized state of California, where foreign nationals who are ‘anti-colonalist’ now run the state.
