The U.S. Supreme Court late Wednesday gave the Trump administration permission to enforce its toughest restriction yet on asylum seekers at the southern border, even though a lawsuit to stop the new policy is still working its way through the lower courts.
As a result, the government can now refuse to consider a request for asylum from anyone who failed to apply for it in another country after leaving home but before coming here. As a practical matter, it means that migrants from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador cannot seek asylum in the U.S. if they didn't first ask for it in Mexico.Pete Williams is an NBC News correspondent who covers the Justice Department and the Supreme Court, based in Washington.
You ,mean we can actually control our own borders.
So good the highest court now see the vision to enforce restriction on migrant asylum. I strongly believe that his is in the right direction or peace and security.
The Supreme Court is no longer honorable.

kylegriffin1 This is good. We know most applying just want a quickly ticket to the US. They need to apply to the first country they come to
kylegriffin1 the roberts court with never be known as a great court it will never be known as court for its judicial acumen it will never known for fairness or righteousness
kylegriffin1 What was the argument and opinion. Did Trump lawyers scare the judges with 'What ifs ...' And MS13?
Surprised? He appointed enough to get his way.
I see no problems here... 🤷🏽♂️🤔👍🏽
It seems to me when this Country was attack September 11, 2001 that woke everyone up!!! There were no racist outburst or attacks on people everyone came together and help one another Hmmmmm!!
NBCNightlyNews Well of course they do 🤬
Good news
Let’s see. The Executive branch, the Justice Dept, the Senate and now the Supreme Court are controlled by the wannabe dictator Trump. How can these so called patriotic groups letting Trump get away with this. Our democracy is falling apart under Trump & his administration.

NBCNightlyNews Shame
kylegriffin1 “...SCOTUS late Wednesday gave...permission to enforce its toughest restriction yet on asylum seekers at the southern border, even though a lawsuit to stop the new policy is still working its way through the lower courts.” The ruling was 7-2.
kylegriffin1 The turtle did this to us!!
kylegriffin1 Supreme Court, not so supreme anymore, just run of the mill racists. At least a few of them.
Its a privilege to live in the greatest country in the world not a right
NBCNightlyNews Fascism trickling in, be aware
Finally, a country can control its borders 👏🏻👏🏻
Dear Jesus!! This goes against scripture which is Your Word.
It seems very confusing which is one of many reasons Trump's immigration policies are a complete and utter failure. What I care about is the children in cages being tortured
kylegriffin1 Unbelievable!
Great news, now build the wall!!
Good we are not the worlds piggy bank
NBCNightlyNews We watching LesterHoltNBC NightlyNews on NBC 👀'👍 💔.
kylegriffin1 What a racket. What are they going to do with all the people they already have in custody? These forever detentions cost American's thousands of dollars a day that the Trump Administration isn't going to pay for. YOu are.
kylegriffin1 Of course they did. Trump was “selected” (by Putin), not “elected” and now we will have to live with the judges that he and/or Vlad selected. From the SCOTUS on down. Pathetic what an illegitimate president can get away with.
NBCNightlyNews The trump bought court supports him. How shocking.
As a result of the ruling, the government can now refuse to consider a request for asylum from anyone who failed to apply for it in another country after leaving home but before coming to the US.
They can't allow him, it's in the Constitution that the president has full power to do this.
Good
