Supreme Court Just Greenlit a Huge Trump Immigration Crackdown

The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the Trump administration can dismantle a Biden-era parole program that allowed approximately 500,000 migrants from certain countries to temporarily reside in the United States.
The ruling overrides an injunction placed on this move by a lower court in April.
From CNN:
It was the second time this month that the high court sided with Trump's efforts to revoke temporary legal status for immigrants. The Supreme Court previously cleared the way for the administration to revoke another temporary program that provided work permits to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.
The court's brief order was not signed. Two liberal justices - Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson - dissented from the decision.
Though the emergency decision from the Supreme Court is not final - the underlying legal case will continue in lower courts - the order will allow the administration to expedite deportations for those who had previously benefited from the program.

#BREAKING: SUPREME COURT SIDES WITH TRUMP — allows him to revoke Biden legal status for HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of "migrants"
MASSIVE win!
Trump can immediately start the deportation process of 400K Haitians, Venezuelans, Cubans, and Nicaraguans brought in by Biden.

US District Judge Indira Talwani issued a ruling blocking the White House from terminating the parole program, which allowed people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to work in the United States for a certain time period.
A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from ending a Biden-era program that gave work permits and legal status to more than half a million foreign nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
"If their parole status is allowed to lapse, Plaintiffs will be faced with two unfavorable options: continue following the law and leave the country on their own, or await removal proceedings," U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani wrote in her ruling regarding the CHNV humanitarian parole program. "If Plaintiffs leave the country on their own, they will face dangers in their native countries, as set forth in their affidavits."
The Trump administration's lawyers argued that doing away with the program was one of the "most consequential immigration policy decisions" it had made up to that point. They insisted that Talwani's ruling impeded "critical immigration policies that are carefully calibrated to deter illegal entry, vitiating core executive branch prerogatives, and undoing democratically approved policies that featured heavily in the November election."
It is unclear whether the White House will immediately move to deport these individuals or if some will be allowed to stay.

Time to get them out of the country.
If only we could move them out of the country as fast as Martha's Vineyard moved them out of their town.
Another day, another stay issued by another Federal Court.
San Francisco Judge ruled that TPS legally granted between January 17 and February 05 were protected from deportment while their case winds it's way through the justice system. This affects as many as 5,000 Venezuelans currently.
The previous SCOTUS ruling is not affected, but clouded.
Yeah, the problem with that is a SF judge doesn't overrule the SCOTUS.
And the activist judge was quickly overruled, again.
One can only come to the conclusion that the democrats in the judiciary won't be happy until every pro-Isreal march or rally is firebombed by an illegal that they have protected.
If one President can create a program by order, another can undo it the same way. Glad the Court sees it that way.
I agree.
However.
Sadly this looks very much like we're going from one really stupid and shitty immigration policy to another.
Meanwhile the birth rate of US citizens is at 1.6 births per woman per lifetime, well below the rate of 2.1 births needed to sustain the same population.
Exactly.
We are in a unique position among developed nations to be able to actually DO something about that problem, and we're letting the morons on the political extremes ruin it.
Time to start removing the DACA program, nobody should benefit from the bad action of others.
If by "removing" you mean "create a citizenship pathway and give them a deadline to complete it", then yeah. Definitely.
That pathway already exists.
Does it? Help me out, here.
I'm reading this :
(green emphasis mine)
What am I missing?
I think the DACA policy itself does not offer a path to permanent residency or citizenship. But I think Jeremy was referring to the fact that there always has been a legal path to citizenship through naturalization for any immigrants who wish to become US citizens. They need to follow that path which might be preferable to remaining in the limited DACA program after they graduate.
OK, as I understand it.... and I freely admit that may not be very well.... A person has to be a lawful resident of the US for 5 years before they're eligible to apply for citizenship.
Again.... as I understand it.... DACA is "deferred adjudication". They're not here legally, we're just agreeing not to do anything about it.
So how do we get them over that hurdle?
As I understand it, a DACA participant should start working early on getting a green card as a "permanent resident" while they are still in the DACA program. Some helpful info on that HERE and HERE
The point is that a DACA recipient is no better or no worse off when it comes to the naturalization process and its path to legal citizenship. That path has been and always will be available to them. In lieu of the DACA program there are student visa and work visa programs as well that can pave a way to permanent residence and citizenship.
Correct. It is another way in which we are skirting the current immigration law, or turning our heads the other way. Employers do something similar when they hire undocumented immigrants, or accept clearly false documentation. We circumvent the law when sanctuary cities invite undocumented immigrants to stay and look the other way or actively assist them in getting work when they have no authorization to do so according to Federal law. Then there are also those who actively assist undocumented immigrants to avoid ICE or the INS. It is a problem that does need to be solved, or we need to change the law.
Given the current atmosphere of national purity, DACA are just as likely to be exported by ICE as anyone else.
I have not seen evidence of that, in fact recent court cases have specifically preserved the shielding of DACA recipients from deportation. The "DA" in DACA stands for "Deferred Action". What that means is that recipients are temporarily protected from being deported even though they are here illegally as long as they are in the program, continue to renew every 2 years, and do not commit other crimes.
Jack's statement, "as I understand it.... DACA is "deferred adjudication". They're not here legally, we're just agreeing not to do anything about it." is absolutely correct. And that part has been upheld in the courts several times.
What am I missing?
The immigration process. Has been in use by millions for quite a while now.
OK, well, we're probably not going to agree on this, but I think there needs to be a citizenship fast track for these people.
Set out a plan where they need to complete some reasonably manageable steps, give them 12-18 months to get it done, and let's move on.
That track has existed. Everybody cries that it needs updated / improved but NONE have done anything to make it better. It's all been lip service.
There is a reason it is harder than some would like. Early GovCo anticipated a rush and, unlike today, they were to assimilate. Right now it is far from that original thinking. We have to be the world's be all and end all.
All for the virtue signalers..........that then claim NYMBY status.
OK, so I'm back in the dark here. Maybe I'm not explaining it well.
What I'm reading says that DACA does not offer any pathway to legal permanent residency or citizenship.
What track are you referring to? Sorry if I'm being tedious.
What is "it", exactly? Was there a special program for DACA people?
Nope. No special status.............as it should be. They can go through the normal avenues that, as previously said, has worked for millions.
Imagine what you can find with a simple google search.
DACA were supposed to follow the same path as everybody else. VERY FEW have.
get them out, this country is overcrowded
No offence but you need to travel beyond you state lines.
We can drive for hours throughout vast areas of the midwest and west without seeing a dozen other vehicles.
Come to AZ, NM, NV, West Texas, Wyoming or Nebraska.
Overcrowding there is called a square dance...
That area has low population for reasons, even if you average it out we have more people than can be handled and many places are over full.
I think overcrowding reduces the quality of life and makes problems worse.
