    This is a more common sense policy than the one Alejandro Mayorkas,
    Kamala Harris and Joe Robinette Biden operated under that let any and
    every invader claim they were in fear of their lives in their Third
    World shit hole countries.

    The US Supreme Court on Thursday sided with the Trump Administration and allowed immigration officials to turn away migrants who show up at
    US-Mexico border seeking asylum.

    In a 6-3 decision, the high court ruled that migrants cannot apply for
    asylum until they step foot in the United States.

    The three liberal justices, Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissented.

    (No surprise there.)

    In a rare move, Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench.

    Conservative Supreme Court Justice Alito wrote the majority opinion.

    rCLIn ordinary speech, no one would say that a person rCLarrives inrCY a placerCofor example, a house, a city, or a countryrCobefore the person
    enters that place,rCY Alto wrote.

    rCLThe context in which the phrase rCLarrives in the United StatesrCY is used in the immigration statutes at issue here supports an ordinary-meaning reading. So does the presumption against extraterritoriality. We
    therefore reverse,rCY Alito wrote.

    Politico reported:

    U.S. immigration officials can turn away asylum seekers at the Mexican
    border, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday.

    In a 6-3 decision, the justices greenlit a rCLmeteringrCY policy devised
    under the Obama administration and expanded during President Donald
    TrumprCOs first term, under which Customs and Border Protection agents
    posted on bridges between Mexico and the U.S. turned back many asylum
    seekers.

    The high courtrCOs ruling overturned lower-court decisions that found
    Congress intended to permit any immigrant approaching a border
    checkpoint to file for asylum.
