@Vertok55 @shipwreckedcrew July 2025 the OBBBA got rid of some benefits for those who are "lawfully present". That included a number of different groups. They got rid of benefits for a lot of "qualified aliens" too. Ds have still not gotten over all of that.

[jerry hale @ijerryhale]

@Vertok55 @shipwreckedcrew Executive branch cannot grant immigration benefits, it grants lawful presence. All executive branch discretionary programs grant lawful presence and all of those programs are ostensibly temporary, see above. Lawful presence is a lawful status but not a legal immigration status.

@8USC12 @amaoesquerda @shipwreckedcrew Cheers.

@JC_Hathaway @nytimes Define irony: metering occurred in 2016 during the last year of the Obama admin. At around the same time there there were lots of Haitians overloading the southern border coming from South America.

@JC_Hathaway @nytimes 8 USC 1182 (f) says "any alien or any class of alien". If the president doesn't really have the right to suspend entry to "all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants" then what exactly does 1182 (f) mean? And metering didn't start with trump.

@amaoesquerda @shipwreckedcrew @8USC12 made a comment recently about parolee status "resetting" somehow? I don't remember exactly what the comment was but as I remember the process made parolees somehow then subject to expedited removal.

[jerry hale @ijerryhale]

@amaoesquerda @shipwreckedcrew It isn't. He's right that expedited removal does not apply if you have been admitted or paroled but he's wrong about parolees legally entering. Parolees are not legally admitted, which is why 8 USC 1225 (b)(1)(A)(iii)(II) says "has not been admitted or paroled"

@Scott_Wiener Metering of asylum seekers at the border started in 2016 during the last year of the Obama administration.

@MHarrisonW Immigration court is not a criminal court, it's an administrative/civil court. Divorce court is a civil court, you don't have criminal due process rights in a divorce court either.

[jerry hale @ijerryhale]

@MHarrisonW If you are in US you are afforded same civil and criminal due process rights as any citizen. 5th uses "person" twice, 4th uses "people" once. Neither uses "citizen". Confusion arises because being in US without status is not a crime, thus aliens do not have 6th amendment rights.

2024. Cuba and DR was not a one off. This is new.

[jerry hale @ijerryhale]

This is a sort by total descending version of Table 10. Normally it's mexico, india, china. India was number one in 2022 (?). Cuba and DR may be a one off here. 2024 data is not yet available.

[jerry hale @ijerryhale]

Modern version of YIS always releases the data for a given year as a set of Excel files first. Click the "Download Data" link for that year. Normally I believe it's published every year in September but 2023 and 2024 have been uncharacteristically late.

[jerry hale @ijerryhale]

@SteveGuest If almost all of both legal and illegal immigration into the US is non white how is it possible that the immigration policy is racist?

This what legal immigration to the US looks like pretty much every year, it has looked like this for a very long time.

@chriswithans "Now the next Democrat president can create DACA or CHNV or Parole through a Phone App"

Didn't a democratic president already do all of these things?

@DavidLiptonWI @Jwf1776 @KelseyReichmann @CityBureaucrat Do you know what bonbon tè is? And if you knew what bonbon tè is when the news broke that Haitians were eating cats would you have thought that was a big lift? And would that have been racist?

[jerry hale @ijerryhale]

@VP1985_CA @marcorandazza The decision today was about what comprised an "arriving alien" i.e. if you are arriving doesn't that mean that you have not arrived yet?

[jerry hale @ijerryhale]

@VP1985_CA @marcorandazza Again, the US refugee system has been almost entirely non white for a while now. I'm pretty sure we'll survive this one. Also there's been a lot of confusion about the rulings today. You have always only been allowed to apply for asylum if you are physically in the US.

@LP_CLC @whignewtons One more time. TPS was created for El Salvador. T 1.0 tried to end TPS for El Salvador in 2018. The Biden admin stopped that termination in 2023. El Salvador is one of the safest countries in the western hemisphere today. Why would the biden admin redesignate El Salvador for TPS?

[jerry hale @ijerryhale]

@LP_CLC @whignewtons T 1.0 tried to end TPS for lots of countries, including Haiti. 8 USC 1254 (b)(5)(A) says there is no judicial review. Lawsuits say, "but they didn't follow the APA, they're racist, what about the children?". Today SCOTUS said 8 USC 1254 (b)(5)(A) says there is no judicial review

[jerry hale @ijerryhale]

@AVindman "who arrived legally in the United States under TPS". Again, you don't know how any of this works.

[jerry hale @ijerryhale]

@AVindman You don't "come here legally under TPS", you're already in the US when TPS is granted for your country, and the earthquake in 2010 hit Port au Prince. TPS was granted for all of Haiti. Those Haitians who qualified had to already be in the US the day the earthquake happened.
