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.
“Monday’s decision does not affect immigrants with TPS who initially entered the U.S. legally” and then, say, overstayed their visa, Kagan noted. Because those people were legally admitted to the country and later were given humanitarian protections, they can seek to become permanent residents.”
Yeah, there’s nothing really ground breaking about this case, and it was decided exactly how it should have been based on the current law, even if I’d prefer them to be eligible for citizenship. Interesting headline though.
