Officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are praising decisions issued by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) on Thursday, all of which make it easier to enforce federal immigration law. 
As Breitbart News reported, SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in Mullin v. 
Al Otro Lado, clarifying that a migrant who has not physically set foot into the U.S. is not entitled to apply for asylum and does not have to be inspected by an immigration officer. 
Similarly, SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in Mullin v. 
Doe that President Donald Trump’s administration can end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians living in the U.S. — making them deportable. 
And, in a third case, SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in Blanche v. 
Muk Choi Lau, which will make it easier for DHS officials to deport green card-holders who have been convicted of crimes in the U.S. 
DHS General Counsel James Percival said the rulings reinforce that the nation’s borders are critical to its sovereignty. 
“These three rulings are all victories for the rule of law and common sense,” Percival said: 
“This includes barring aliens from applying for asylum if they haven’t set foot in the United States, making it easier to remove lawful permanent residents who commit a crime, and reaffirming that TPS was always supposed to be temporary and can be cancelled at the appropriate time. 
Thanks to these decisions, we now have several more important tools to continue securing our borders.” 
[Emphasis added] 
Meanwhile, Democrats have panicked over the rulings. 
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus, for instance, claimed SCOTUS is “enabling the Trump administration's worst anti-immigrant policies, and in the process dealing our communities and our economy an undue blow.”
