Good. Now lower Federal judges can stop trying to overrule it because they want to. Watch one try tho. The ruling makes sense, the solution to the world's problems isn't to say anyone from a less well off area that can simply get to America gets to stay here as an asylum seeker. That's not sustainable. The rules still allow those who do need safe haven or protection in America to seek it, and allo for negotiations between the US and other countries about how many the US will take even if refugees did pass through a country like Mexico. This simply stops the lone goal of being getting to the US, rather than getting to safety. Asylum seekers who sought asylum in another country and were rejected are still welcome to apply here at the US even if they passed through a dozen other countries. They just have to try at one country along the way.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is allowing nationwide enforcement of
a new Trump administration rule that prevents most Central American migrants from seeking asylum in the United States.
The justices’ order late Wednesday temporarily undoes a lower court ruling that had blocked the new asylum policy in some states along the southern border. The policy is meant to deny asylum to anyone who passes through another country on the way to the U.S. without seeking protection there.
The legal challenge to the new policy has a brief but somewhat convoluted history. U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in San Francisco
blocked the new policy from taking effect in late July. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals narrowed Tigar’s order so that it applied only in Arizona and California, states that are within the 9th Circuit.
That left the administration free to enforce the policy on asylum seekers arriving in New Mexico and Texas. Tigar issued a new order on Monday that reimposed a nationwide hold on asylum policy. The 9th Circuit again narrowed his order on Tuesday.
The high court action allows the Republican administration to impose the new policy everywhere while the court case against it continues.
Asylum seekers must pass an initial screening called a “credible fear” interview, a hurdle that a vast majority clear. Under the new policy, they would fail the test unless they sought asylum in at least one country they traveled through and were denied.
