The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to enforce its "public charge" immigration restriction, lifting a pair of preliminary injunctions issued by federal judges.

The Monday order followed a 5-4 split vote that divided the court’s conservatives and liberals.

At issue is the administration’s rule issued in August that would restrict immigrants entering the United States if the government believes they will rely on public assistance, such as housing or health care benefits. Lower federal courts had blocked the policy from being implemented while the issue is being litigated.

Astounding that something so simple as entering the country in order to throw oneself on the mercy of its taxpayers even had to be taken to court.

Agree. The vote was 5-4, by the end of the year the votes supporting Trump's actions will be 6-3 and by the end of Trump's second term the votes will be 7-2.
