    Supreme Court rules against immigrants with temporary status

    And this was an opinion written by Kagan.

    Supreme Court rules against immigrants with temporary status

    A unanimous Supreme Court ruled Monday that thousands of people living in the U.S. for humanitarian reasons are ineligible to apply to become permanent residents.

    Justice Elena Kagan wrote for the court that federal immigration law prohibits people who entered the country illegally and now have Temporary Protected Status from seeking “green cards” to remain in the country permanently.

    The designation applies to people who come from countries ravaged by war or disaster. It protects them from deportation and allows them to work legally. There are 400,000 people from 12 countries with TPS status.

    The outcome in a case involving a couple from El Salvador who have been in the U.S. since the early 1990s turned on whether people who entered the country illegally and were given humanitarian protections were ever “admitted” into the United States under immigration law.

    Kagan wrote that they were not. “The TPS program gives foreign nationals nonimmigrant status, but it does not admit them. So the conferral of TPS does not make an unlawful entrant...eligible” for a green card, she wrote.

    The House of Representatives already has passed legislation that would make it possible for TPS recipients to become permanent residents, Kagan noted. The bill faces uncertain prospects in the Senate....

    This is a good ruling on SCOTUS' part.

    You've slipped a few years ahead of yourself.
    We used to call them illegal aliens because they were not from the country.
    Immigrants come through the front door, not across the river. They apply for citizenship, do their studies, and become US citizens. They come to create, not destroy.
    Even the law calls them illegal aliens:
    Illegal Alien Law and Legal Definition

    An Illegal alien or an Undocumented alien or worker is a foreign national who has entered the United States without legal permission, authorization or inspection; or who entered the U.S. legally but has since fallen out of status by overstaying or by violating the terms of legal entry. An illegal alien is subject to deportation if apprehended

    They aren't illegal immigrants. They are illegal aliens.
    They are criminal when they enter the country. Why should we give citizenship to criminals whose very first act is to break our laws?
