I was in favor of Biden's bipartisan, legislative attempt (and ultimately his EO) to put restrictions on asylum seekers. The one trump sabotaged to keep the immigration issue front and center for the election.
I just don't like the way the SC facilitates the illegal nature of what the regime is doing by bowing to the unitary executive theory. Which essentially cedes complete control of the government to the executive.
The Trump administration has taken steps to dismantle the asylum process for migrants more broadly and told the Supreme Court it wanted the flexibility to reinstitute the policy if needed to address a surge of migrants at the border. In separate cases, a judge in Rhode Island this month rejected the government’s indefinite hold on asylum applications and an appeals court in Washington said in April that the administration could not categorically deny asylum claims from people crossing from Mexico into the United States.
The Supreme Court’s conservative majority has generally been receptive to the Trump administration’s assertions of presidential power and has issued a series of temporary orders allowing Mr. Trump to carry out his policies while litigation proceeds in the lower courts.

Supreme Court Allows Trump to Block Asylum Seekers at Border
A policy of turning back asylum seekers at the border was rescinded in 2021, but the Trump administration wants the flexibility to reinstate it as a tool for border control.
