Supreme Court allows Trump to end protected status of Venezuelan migrants

When Joe Biden was in office, he created all kinds of ways for illegal immigrants to get moved over to the legal column.

One of those was by giving protected status to various groups.

As soon as Trump came into office, he looked to end those protections, and the Supreme Court just backed him up, in what has to be a crushing blow to Biden and Democrats.

Protected status

Offering temporary protected status (TPS) to migrants was one of the tools that Biden used to open our borders.

The system was rigged from the outset, as Biden was more or less greenlighting just about every asylum claim that was made by countries like Venezuela.

On March 9, 2021, Biden granted TPS to all Venezuelans who were already in the country, which more or less moved them from the illegal column to the legal column with the swipe of a pen.

I have discussed this before, but numerous studies were done on this issue, and they overwhelmingly found that nearly 90% of all the migrants Biden protected in this way would have likely been refused asylum had they gone through regular channels.

Give them more time

Just before leaving office, Biden decided to extend the TPS of these individuals, figuring he could block Trump from deporting them when he took office.

Only 10 days before leaving office, Biden ordered them to be protected for another 18 months.

Some of these people who had been given TPS had been living here illegally for years, completely ignored by immigration authorities.

Trump made it a point that Biden’s order would come under attack almost immediately, and Trump delivered on his promise, and that case has just found its way before the Supreme Court.

Permission granted

In September, a Barack Obama appointee ruled that Trump had broken the law by ending these protections, but the Supreme Court disagreed.

The Trump administration argued, “So long as the district court’s order is in effect, the Secretary must permit over 300,000 Venezuelan nationals to remain in the country, notwithstanding her reasoned determination that doing so even temporarily is ‘contrary to the national interest.'”

The majority of the Supreme Court disagreed, with Justice Jackson once again throwing darts at the administration and the conservative justices. Her dissent stated, “Having opted instead to join the fray, the Court plainly misjudges the irreparable harm and balance-of-the-equities factors by privileging the bald assertion of unconstrained executive power over countless families’ pleas for the stability our Government has promised them. Because, respectfully, I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance, I dissent.”

The only abuse that was taking place here was by the Biden administration to twist and contort our immigration laws to pack this country with illegals. This was the right decision, period.
