US supreme court allows Trump administration to strip Haitians and Syrians of protected status (www.theguardian.com)

In another boost to Donald Trump’s unprecedented hardline crackdown on immigrants, including many who have lived legally in the US for years, the court issued a 6-3 ruling. That was powered ⁠by its conservative-leaning majority, overturning decisions by ⁠federal judges in New York and Washington DC that had halted the administration’s actions terminating TPS for more than 350,000 people from Haiti and 6,100 from Syria.

The court’s three liberal-leaning justices disagreed with the opinion. It leaves Haitians and Syrians in the US on TPS vulnerable to deportation even if they have applications for other forms of immigration status in progress.

The state department currently warns against traveling to either Haiti or Syria, citing widespread violence, crime, terrorism and ⁠kidnapping.

All countries with a designation allowing TPS in the US are now considered under threat as the ruling will embolden the US president to strip other places of their status, no matter how risky it would be for immigrants to return there.

To “wipe the board”, we’re talking about tearing up the last century of immigration criminalization.

I understand that is your end goal (and my desire as well). The power to do what we want is also the power to make it the horrible trump's version.

That’s all there under The Patriot Act of '01 and The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of '96 and the Fair Labor Standards Act of '38 (amended under Carter in '77 to criminalize illegal migrant employment).

We today, can see the results of all of those and what didn't work and know that a better solution should not include those failed efforts.

What Trump has done is to tear out all the little legislatively outlined exemptions and dispensations, such that criminalization rules are more explicitly in the hands of the executive branch.

I agree. And he's taken that approach because the slow machinery of government doesn't let him simply wipe the slate clean and put his own wholly horrible fascist version of what he wants with full criminalization of any immigrant (even even those born here of immigrant lineage).

The exceptions and workarounds you're citing as the problem are evidence that no one from either side has the ability for fully implement their own version of immigration policy in the USA. Even if we want the power of a a unilateral overhaul decriminalization immigration right now, trump would use that power right now to do the exact opposite.

the horrible trump’s version.

Is just the existing immigration system expanded to more people.

And he’s taken that approach because the slow machinery of government doesn’t let him simply wipe the slate clean

Trump doesn't want to eliminate our carceral state. He's quite happy with the function of the government and simply wants to expand it.

If you don't think trump's real desired version isn't worse, I'd question your imagination.

trump hates getting stopped or at least slowed by our courts and what few legislative efforts exist to combat him. He would love for all of those to be gone.

If you don’t think trump’s real desired version

It's Steven Miller's vision. But, again, it's just an extension of the existing carceral state. Trump/Miller aren't dreaming up anything that didn't already exist under Ronald Wilson Reagan's California governorship. The only thing they're changing is volume.

trump hates getting stopped

Him and every other politico to the right of John McCain and the left of AOC. Only liberals have a fetish for being told "No".

He would love for all of those to be gone.

To paraphrase the great political theorist November Kelly, "I hate when the government defends itself against my team. I love when the government defends itself against the other team."

Trump doesn't need these organs gone. He has them fully co-opted by his MAGA co-conspirators and billionaire friends. Once he's out of office, he 100% wants a muscular SCOTUS to hold up the stop sign in front of every Barack Obama who enters office in his wake. He wants a Senate that gets nothing done under Democrats for the same reason he wants a rubber stamp from his fellow republicans.

The modern democratic system exists as a ratchet to the benefit of fascists. And Trump loves that the ratchet turns his way.

Reagan was horrible in his own ways, but I don't rememeber Reagan trying to outright break the Constitution or deny birthright citizenship.

I'm not sure what your point is. Just as one example, the ACA still exists in some form and we know trump hates it. If trump could just end the ACA with the stroke of a pen, he would.

He would love for all of those to be gone.

To paraphrase the great political theorist November Kelly, “I hate when the government defends itself against my team. I love when the government defends itself against the other team.”

Right, that supports my argument.

Trump doesn’t need these organs gone. He has them fully co-opted by his MAGA co-conspirators and billionaire friends. Once he’s out of office, he 100% wants a muscular SCOTUS to hold up the stop sign in front of every Barack Obama who enters office in his wake. He wants a Senate that gets nothing done under Democrats for the same reason he wants a rubber stamp from his fellow republicans.

Not fully, but he's working on it. He still needs Republicans to hold the legislature and with all the damage he's doing using the Republican name, that is looking increasingly less and less likely.

The modern democratic system exists as a ratchet to the benefit of fascists. And Trump loves that the ratchet turns his way.

trump doesn't like how slow it turns, even if it turns his way.
