The Supreme Court ruled Monday that up to 400,000 immigrants who gained temporary protected status but came here illegally won't be able to get green cards – with liberal Justice Elana Kagan such status 'does not come with an admission ticket.'
The Supreme Court was unanimous in its refusal to let immigrants who have been allowed to stay in the United States on humanitarian grounds apply to become permanent residents if they entered the country illegally.

Agreed. I’d like to see ALL illegal immigrants given a one-way trip back to their home country, all 20+ million of them.
hysterical and a 9-0 to boot!
Quite the string of 9-0 defeats for liberal backed causes. Me thinks the whole “packing the court” threat just got push-back even from the liberal justices. You’d have to put 10 new ultra-liberal SCOTUS justices in to counter the existing stance.
Rd later.
