Supreme Court rules that ‘temporary’ means temporary, — and the left has a cow

So the Supreme Court ruled that the word ‘temporary’ means ‘temporary.’

According to SCOTUS blog:

The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the federal government to remove protections for citizens of Haiti and Syria under a federal program that allows foreign citizens to stay in the United States when the U.S. government believes that it is not safe for them to return to their homes. By a vote of 6-3 in Mullin v. Doe, the justices paused rulings by federal courts in Washington, D.C., and New York that had barred the Trump administration from ending the designations under the program, known as Temporary Protected Status, for Haiti and Syria. Instead, the court that the federal law creating the TPS program generally bars courts from reviewing the determinations by then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to end the TPS designations for Haiti and Syria. The court also ruled that the Haitian TPS holders are likely to lose on the claim that Noem ended TPS status for Haiti because the country’s citizens are overwhelmingly Black and therefore violated the Constitution’s guarantee of equal treatment.

Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the language of the TPS statute prohibiting judicial review “is clear, and its plain meaning is very broad.”

And yes, it was quite a victory for the Trump administration:

Migrants who are extended temporary protection status based on problems in their home countries aren’t entitled to stay here as long as they like. They are ‘temporary’ like the title says. That they stay here does not give them permanent residency, nor a path to citizenship or illegal voting in elections. Migrants who receive this benefit need to go home when the term is up as good guests do, or when the president rules that the crisis has passed.

It sounds pretty common sense to anyone who knows how to read.

But then there are the Democrats and other leftists, who had what can only be called an amazing cow.

Get a load:

Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Ayanna Pressley, both of Massachusetts, held a press conference over news that Haitian TPS holders didn’t have the right to stay in the U.S. forever:

No, the Supreme Court didn’t ‘fail’ them. The rules stayed the rules, not what they wanted them to be. And the idea that there’s no such thing as a dignified life in Haiti for those who know the place is kind of insulting. Meanwhile, no, America is not their home, Haiti is. To think otherwise, as Pressley does, is makin’ it up as she goes along. Pretty creepy that she’s conferring them U.S. citizenship just because they collect welfare.

Then there were the bishops — what would we do without them?

Like nobody has any god-given dignity in Haiti, a Catholic country, is that it? They’ve got some scold’s logic there. They sound as though their NGO rice bowl has been eaten.

The TPS migrants, unlike many other kinds of migrants, are showered with federal subsidies, taking money ordinary Americans don’t get, so for those feeding at the trough of those subsidies — crony capitalists, NGO — and in those quarters, there’s much to be upset about:

Fox News’s Bill Melugin noted that the attendance seemed rather … small:

The other problem, he noted, was that many Haitian TPS recipients and asylum applicants were pretty fake in their applications for the status:

And I recall writing this, noting other aspects of asylum and TPS abuse.

President after president has made a mockery of the TPS designation, allowing thousands to stay either through continuous extensions, or just ignoring the law.

President Trump, a businessman who understands contracts and terms meaning what they say, operates differently.

Nevertheless. Homeland Security noted that it wasn’t all bad for the Haitians who must now go home:

That’s a lot more than illegal migrants exiting most countries get. The howls from the left, then, aren’t really about the Haitians and their welfare, they are howls about themselves, and what they see as their interests.
