So, the hiatus Haitians here are so going to be high flying Haitians headed to either Haiti or some willing cannibal tribe in the darkest, dankest, dingiest, dirtiest depths of a prison in an undisclosed location in your typical bottom-tiered third sliding into fourth world condition country.
I vote they are sent to New South Wales, Australia, (I’m pissed at the Aussies today) or alternatively, they goes to Outer Mongolia.

Senate shuts down Kaine's attempt to check Trump's war powers
A Senate Democrat’s push to put a check on President Donald Trump’s powers and reaffirm the Senate’s war authority was shut down by lawmakers in the upper chamber Thursday.
Sen. Tim Kaine’s war powers resolution, which would have required Congress to debate and vote on whether the president could declare war, or strike Iran, was struck down in the Senate on a largely party-line vote, save for Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., a staunch advocate of Israel who supported Trump's strike on the Islamic Republic, and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who has been vocal in his thoughts about congressional war powers in recent days.
Earlier in the week, the Virginia Democrat vowed to move ahead with the resolution despite a fragile ceasefire brokered between Israel and Iran following weekend strikes on the Islamic Republic’s key nuclear facilities that were not given the green-light by Congress.

Good grief, Tim, why can’t you just shut up and go away?

Just think- we are barely more than five months into a four year term. Each day, it seems, more and more people begin to realize and appreciate what is going on.
The Democrats find themselves in a colossal mess, with radicals and half-wits guiding their party.
You can't lie to people about inflation, the cost of fuel and so on. Everyone knows what condition their finances are in. You can't con people on these things. As things improve, the momentum will increase, and the more the left and their news media co-conspirators will make mistakes and become alienated from the American public. President Trump's domestic and foreign policies will continue to be successful, and the leftists will be on the wrong side of all of it, and everyone will see this.
The farther down the road we get, the better things will become. The better things become, the more people will get on board. The more people get on board, the better things will become.

One last observation for the day- In her dissenting opinion on Trump v. CASA, Inc., "Justice" Jackson used the term "full stop". Yes a member of the highest court in the land used this idiotic (and now past-prime) term, which is not befitting her (undeserved) position. She doesn't even know to be embarrassed by this inappropriate and trite pop culture language.

“The Trump administration took revenge against at least three federal prosecutors who worked on cases against January 6 rioters by firing them.
Attorney General Pam Bondi sacked the prosecutors on Friday, telling them they were 'removed from federal service effective immediately.'
In a copy of one of the dismissal letters first reported by NBC News, Bondi did not specify why the prosecutors were out of the job. …”
The ruling stated nothing about LEGAL residents, it stated "domiciled residents." Read the decision instead of jumping to conclusions.
In a 6–2 decision[108][109] issued on March 28, 1898,[110] the Supreme Court held that Wong Kim Ark had acquired U.S. citizenship at birth and that "the American citizenship which Wong Kim Ark acquired by birth within the United States has not been lost or taken away by anything happening since his birth."[111] The opinion of the Court was written by Associate Justice Horace Gray and was joined by Associate Justices David J. Brewer, Henry B. Brown, George Shiras Jr., Edward Douglass White, and Rufus W. Peckham.[112]
The Court stated "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" should be interpreted "in the light of the common law" which had included as subjects virtually all native-born children, excluding only those who were born to foreign rulers or diplomats, born on foreign public ships, or born to enemy forces engaged in hostile occupation of the country's territory.[1][113][114][115] The court's majority held that the subject to the jurisdiction phrase in the Citizenship Clause excluded from U.S. citizenship only those persons covered by one of these three exceptions (plus a fourth "single additional exception"—namely, that Indian tribes "not taxed" were not considered subject to U.S. jurisdiction).[4][38] The majority concluded that none of these four exceptions to U.S. jurisdiction applied to Wong; in particular, they observed that "during all the time of their said residence in the United States, as domiciled residents therein, the said mother and father of said Wong Kim Ark were engaged in the prosecution of business, and were never engaged in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China".
Link? As I read your post it appears to have quotes from a report on the decision.

You know, at first I really wanted President Trump to just run roughshod over these commie pieces of filth pretending to be judges. Then I came to understand the wisdom of working through the system as it was designed to work. As time goes on, it becomes clear that not only is he fixing many of the things that we want fixed, but he is also fixing how the government works. While we might cheer a nationwide injunction that prevents something we don’t want, that is not how the system was designed to work. I think that the more that we can get the system back to working as designed the more we’ll be better off in the long run.
I don’t know if we can get the legislators to come to Washington DC, write laws representing their constituents, then go home and go back to honest work, but I strongly suspect we’d be better off if we could. Instead of feckless dirtbags who are afraid of doing anything for fear of alienating voters and just defer everything to the administrative state, we might end up with folks actually doing their jobs and being held to account come election time.
Yeah, the legislators is probably a pipe dream, but things are getting better.

-Babylon Bee WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following the U.S. Supreme Court's latest ruling in favor of President Trump, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson penned a scathing rebuke in a dissenting opinion where she simply wrote "Wakanda Forever."
In a 6-3 ruling, the court limited the ability of federal judges to file nationwide injunctions against executive orders, prompting Justice Jackson to defiantly quote Black Panther.
JUSTICE JACKSON, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR join, dissenting.
Wakanda Forever.
The dissenting opinion raised eyebrows from conservative justices who reportedly expected their liberal colleagues to at least have some kind of argument based on legal precedent. https://babylonbee.com/news/in...ites-wakanda-forever

United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)
United States v. Wong Kim Ark
No. 18
Argued March 5, 8, 1897
Decided March 28, 1898
169 U.S. 649
APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
Syllabus
A child born in the United States, of parents of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States, by virtue of the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution,
"All person born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
--SNIP--
The facts of this case, as agreed by the parties, are as follows: Wong Kim Ark was born in 1873 in the city of San Francisco, in the State of California and United States of America, and was and is a laborer. His father and mother were persons of Chinese descent, and subjects of the Emperor of China; they were at the time of his birth domiciled residents of the United States, having previously established and still enjoying a permanent domicil and residence therein at San Francisco; they continued to reside and remain in the United States until 1890, when they departed for China, and during all the time of their residence in the United States, they were engaged in business, and were never employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China. Wong Kim Ark, ever since his birth, has had but one residence, to-wit, in California, within the United States, and has there resided, claiming to be a citizen of the United States, and has never lost or changed that residence, or gained or acquired another residence, and neither he nor his parents acting for him ever renounced his allegiance to the United States, or did or committed any act or thing to exclude him
Note the words "permanent domicil and residence in the United States". Permanent residence is a legal status. No illegal alien is a "permanent resident".
This would clearly preclude women who travel to the U.S. as tourists to give birth, or illegally enter just in time to give birth. The question of whether or not illegal alien parents who live in the U.S. for a period of time and have a domicile are "permanent residents" will need to be decided by the courts. Leftists will argue that simply being here in a home of some sort is enough, and as such have mis-applied this case for a long time. Trump administration will argue this case only applies to green card holders is irrelevant to his executive order and the court has to decide the meaning and intent of the 14th amendment. And we all know the 14th amendment had ZERO to do with immigration, is was about making former slaves citizens in a way that future legislation could not reverse.
In the case, a primary issue was the application of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" to subjects of a foreign monarch who does not release them from being subjects when they move to another country. But then we have plenty of people in the U.S. who are permanent legal residents but still citizens of another country and their children would be U.S. citizens because they are "permanent residents". A lot of the decision discusses English Common Law, where anyone born anywhere in the Crown's realm is a subject automatically. But then when you have an empire like the Brits did, you are going to claim everyone as a subject, that's the whole point of Colonialism. And you know, we rebelled against the Brits because we didn't like being subjects, so British common law about what makes you a subject shouldn't apply in the U.S.This message has been edited.
