Welcome to America, white Christians!
"The second ruling, Mullin v. Doe, concerned the Administration’s efforts to revoke the Temporary Protected Status (T.P.S.) granted to some three hundred and fifty thousand refugees from Haiti, after a devastating 2010 earthquake, and some sixty-one hundred refugees from Syria, during the repressive regime of Bashar al-Assad. The 1990 law in question allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to grant temporary legal status to those whose countries are deemed unsafe owing to war, natural disaster, or other crises. It also states that courts cannot review “any determination . . . with respect to the designation, or termination or extension of a designation, of a foreign state.” The majority, again in an opinion by Alito, interpreted “determination” to cover not only the ultimate decision about whether to grant or remove T.P.S. but also “the chain of events leading up to a decision.”
"The even more alarming part of Alito’s ruling involved an aspect of the case that the majority agreed was subject to judicial review: the claim that the decision to end T.P.S. for Haitians involved racial animus, in violation of the equal-protection clause. The evidence on this was abundant and came from the President himself. Haitian refugees, Trump has said, “are eating the pets” and “probably have AIDS”; he’s called Haiti a “shithole country” and “filthy, dirty, disgusting.” As Kagan put it, “The references—of filth, disease, and primitiveness—are shot through with racial stereotypes and tropes. It is hard to imagine the statements being made today of any White community.” Trump’s remarks, she concluded, “fairly shout, in their racial undertones and overtones alike, that race entered into the President’s resolve to remove Haitians from this country.”
"But it is also true that this Court is inclined to be unduly deferential to Presidential power, especially when it comes to matters of foreign policy and of immigration enforcement. The conservative Justices take a consistently grudging view of challenges to Presidential determinations in this arena, privileging executive authority over the rights of individuals—particularly when those individuals are migrants."
"The nation’s immigration laws are badly in need of fixing. Petitions for asylum have at times overwhelmed the immigration courts, and it is necessary to consider reforms that would streamline the asylum system and make it more manageable. Similarly, T.P.S. is, by definition, not intended to be permanent; at some point, it can and should be ended. But this Administration is not interested in making a flawed system work better. It is bent on a maximalist campaign to close borders and expel as many migrants as possible, whether they are here legally or not. In this un-American endeavor, the Court’s conservative majority is proving itself, once again, Trump’s willing accomplice."

Inhibition, well, you can fly
Out the window to the clear blue sky
It will mess your suit, it will make you cry
It doesn't matter, give me Mumdane pie
