Supreme Court Allows Trump Rules Denying Immigrants Residency Over Public Assistance. High court lets public-charge rule go into effect while litigation continues

“The USA has had these laws on the books since Ellis Island.”

It is shocking that any Supreme Court Justices would vote against the Executive Branch implementing the existing law.

How far we (as a society) have been warped into the Left’s alternative reality, that it might be considered illegal to comply with the law.

The rightward shift in the judiciary will be felt for years to come. And the shift will continue for at least 5 more years.

At issue is which immigrants will be granted legal permanent residency, known as a “green card.” Under Trump’s policy, immigration officers would consider factors such as age, educational level and English proficiency to decide whether an immigrant would be likely to become a “public charge” who would receive government benefits such as the Medicaid health insurance program for the poor.
...
U.S. immigration law has long required officials to exclude a person likely to become a “public charge” from permanent residency. But U.S. guidelines in place for the past two decades had said that immigrants likely to become primarily dependent only on direct cash assistance or long-term institutionalization, in a nursing home for example, at the government’s expense would be barred under “public charge” grounds."

2 decades ? I'm guessing it was a rule change back then to limit criteria...

Local courts will ignore the ruling and make more of their own.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg - age 86
Stephen Breyer - age 81
Replacing just those two judicial activists would go a long way toward restoring the rule of law.

Clarence Thomas - age 71
Samuel Alito - age 69
While I am very happy with both, President Trump replacing them three to four years from now with equally strict originalists would protect freedom for another generation.

Sonia Sotomayor - age 65
Elena Kagan - age 59
Neither of the above enemies of the state are young enough that our odds of them retiring are good. We can hope they will become frustrated with watching the Court protect the Constitution, or that they will choose to spend more time with their families, but I’d bet that they would happily shrivel up in place, just like RBG, to protect the “penumbra” and their created right to murder the innocent unborn.

John Roberts - age 64
I was hopeful, but when he protected Obamacare, I dismissed him completely. He is not an open enemy, but he is also no friend to the Constitution.

Brett Kavanaugh - age 54
Neil Gorsuch - age 52
These two may be the most important part of President Trump’s legacy, other than protecting our border. I’d love to see seven more Trump appointees just like them! Age matters. I want more justices who are age 49-53, old enough to have a proven track record but young enough to have many good years left in their careers.

Having the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation screen potential nominees seems to be working. President Reagan failed with Sandra Day O’Connor and with Anthony Kennedy. George H. W. Bush failed with David Souter. America’s enemies on the left never fail, and we need to be as focused on finding those with a rational judicial philosophy as the globalist left is on finding activists with no concern for the rule of law.

This is already the Law.

What an upside down world we live in.

There's about 7 bllion people that would love to come to the US and get on welfare.

Dems would let them.

[napscoordinator]

I’d like all of them but kavenaugh and gorshuch to go during trump’s time and all repacked by 45 year olds.

Which means there is little chance the little cretins will win on appeal to the SC.
