WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration Tuesday in an immigration case dealing with the government's power over green card holders accused of crimes.

The 6-3 decision centers around an immigration officers' 2012 decision to put lawful permanent resident Muk Choi Lau on immigration parole when he returned from a short trip to China because he had been accused of a counterfeiting crime.

The high court disagreed. "Border officers did not have the burden to establish by clear and convincing evidence that Lau had committed a crime involving moral turpitude," Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the opinion.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson disagreed, writing that the decision to put Lau on immigration parole effectively sentenced him to "immigration limbo" before he'd been convicted of any crime, she wrote.

1. "...a crime involving moral turpitude..."

I guess Uncle Clarence doesn't see the irony in his writing this opinion.

2. I am so sick . . .

of how far this country allows the administration to go because of the boogeyman of immigration. If the Democrats ever regain the White House, I would love to see the new administration turn the tables on this issue and announce that since the country is dead set against immigrants, they are announcing a new policy of mandatory 50 year jail sentences and million dollar fines for executives of companies found employing undocumented workers. I guarantee you that overnight the establishment and the media would change their tune and be all about the Statue of Liberty and how this country has always welcomed immigrants, and there would be huge move for reasonable immigration reform. Let's channel this anti-immigrant fervor into something moral and constructive!
