Why did the United States not get a green card through the Supreme Court, or did it get a green card through the state government?

On June 28, 2020, the Federal Supreme Court ruled by a vote of 5 to 4 that the Trump administration can implement the new green card regulations proposed in August last year, that is, green card applicants who enjoy government benefits cannot obtain green cards.

The above government benefits include Medicaid (commonly known as white card), food stamps, housing subsidies and so on.

After the Trump administration introduced this regulation in August last year, it was challenged by several immigrant groups and several state governments. Five federal district courts in the United States issued injunctions to prevent the new regulations from taking effect. Some federal appeals courts are also divided on this issue. The case went all the way to the Federal Supreme Court.

According to the new regulations, green card applicants must prove that they will not use public welfare and will not become a burden to the country. The new regulations have greatly increased the determinants of green cards. Once the applicant is recognized as a burden to the public at some point in the future, his green card application may be rejected.

It is reported that 544,000 people apply for green cards every year, of which 382,000 will be affected by the new regulations.

Kenneth cucinelli, Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, praised the Supreme Court's ruling. He said, "Obviously, the US Supreme Court is tired of injunctions issued by some judges across the country. These judges impose their policy preferences on others instead of enforcing the law. "

California Governor newsome issued a statement saying that the impact of the Supreme Court ruling would be "destructive" and that California would crack down on "intimidation of immigrant families".
