Temporary Protected Status technically \u201cgives foreign nationals nonimmigrant status,\u201d Kagan noted, but TPS does not rubber-stamp an \u201cunlawful entry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The TPS status \u201capplies to people who come from countries ravaged by war or disaster. It protects them from deportation and allows them to work legally. There are 400,000 people from 12 countries with TPS status,\u201d according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.startribune.com\/supreme-court-rules-against-immigrants-with-temporary-status\/600065546\/\">Minneapolis Star-Tribune<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Court was called upon to decide whether a \u201ccouple from El Salvador who have been in the U.S. since the early 199s\u201d who were given protected status in 2001 but who originally \u201centered the country illegally\u201d were actually \u201cadmitted\u201d into the United States when they were given protected status, enabling them to apply for a green card.<\/p>\n<p>Kagan was clear, in her opinion, that they were not. \u201cThe TPS program gives foreign nationals nonimmigrant status, but it does not admit them. So the conferral of TPS does not make an unlawful entrant\u2026eligible,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>If Congress had wanted to confer \u201cadmission\u201d into the United States along with Temporary Protected Status, Congress had an opportunity when they wrote the law, Kagan noted. She also suggested that Congress could approve \u201cpending legislation\u201d that refines the Temporary Protected Status to include \u201cadmission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongress, of course, could have gone further, by deeming TPS recipients to have not only nonimmigrant status but also a lawful admission,\u201d Kagan said in her opinion, writing for the unanimous court. \u201cLegislation pending in Congress would do just that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe House of Representatives already has passed legislation that would make it possible for TPS recipients to become permanent residents,\u201d Kagan noted, per the Star-Tribune. \u201cThe bill faces uncertain prospects in the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the case likely does not impact most immigrants who entered the United States illegally, it does affect around 400,000 people from 12 countries \u2014 \u201cHaiti, Honduras, Myanmar, Nepal, Nicaragua, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen\u201d \u2014 if they did not enter the U.S. by \u201clawful\u201d means.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, \u201c[t]he case pitted the Biden administration against immigrant groups that argued many people who came to the U.S. for humanitarian reasons have lived in the country for many years, given birth to American citizens, and put down roots in the U.S.,\u201d per the Star-Tribune \u2014 groups that are already uneasy with President Joe Biden\u2019s immigration agenda, and who have been pressing the administration itself to be more liberal when it comes to allowing immigrants who entered the United States illegally to stay.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
