This is just while the case is being still argued in court. It's not a perma measure as of yet.

You think it will be ruled unconstitutional by SCOTUS?

Well, I've already stated how I feel about it in the other thread I think. I only wanted to point out that they are not ruling here based on the merits of the case, or even if they think it is Constitutional, only that they can enact the practice while the case is being argued.

That is entirely true, but how long will it take for the cases to make it through the courts system?

Can someone explain how this will effect applicants at the NVC to Interview stage? That is one thing that confuses me.

Does anyone know if this affects people applying within the US, outside the US or both?

 

Previously the public charge ruling was a little different for both.

 

For outside the US things are handled by DOS but applicants in the US go through DHS. 

 

It's unclear who this new ruling affects.

Mr Perez's "dats racist" dog whistle thankfully resonates with no one but the open borders extremists.

 

I'm also glad to read about the additional hit by Gorsuch and Thomas on the lower courts trying to use their authority as a policy disagreement check rather than a constitutional one.

This is a duplicate thread.

A beautiful law badly needed.
