The Supreme Court on Thursday made it harder for longtime immigrants who have been convicted of a crime to avoid deportation.

Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the opinion for a 5-3 conservative majority that ruled against a Mexican citizen who entered the U.S. illegally and has lived in the country for 25 years.

The man, Clemente Avelino Pereida, had been charged in Nebraska with using a fraudulent Social Security card to get a job and convicted under a state law against criminal impersonation.

Not all criminal convictions inevitably lead to deportation, but Gorsuch wrote for the court that Pereida failed to prove he was not convicted of a serious crime.

And it matters not if the Feds have no intentions of enforcing the deportation law as written. Hell they've been ordered to ignore pretty much all of the laws as it is.

I know how everyone feels about the courts, but there is some indication that the courts are starting to see the threat of leftist totalitarianism for the country. It will probably take a while to gain momentum, but I am hopeful.

Liberal lockstep. Every. Single. Time. Why can’t conservatives and Republicans learn this?
