“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.

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...
