THE US SUPREME COURT MAKES IT EASIER FOR ILLEGALS TO AVOID DEPORTATION!

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS RULING?

The Supreme Court has made it easier for illegal immigrants seeking to avoid deportation to get another chance at a court hearing. The decision Wednesday came in the case of Jean Marc Nken, who came to the United States in 2001 and did not leave when his visa expired. Nken has since applied for asylum, married a U.S. citizen and had a child, who also is an American. But immigration authorities and federal courts have repeatedly rejected his claims, which include the prospect of persecution if he is sent back to the African nation of Cameroon. The federal appeals courts have split on what standard to apply to requests to temporarily block deportation while taking another look at immigration cases. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., applied a very tough standard to Nken's request for a stay. But Chief Justice John Roberts, writing the 7-2 decision, overturned the appeals court and sent it back for reconsideration. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented. The case is Nken v. Holder, 08-681.
