This week\u2019s Supreme Court decisions on immigration handed an enormous victory to the unaccountable bigots who rule this country. <\/span><\/p>\n

But their triumph will cost the MAGA types who support them \u2014 and the rest of us \u2014 dearly.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Thursday, the six conservatives on the court ruled that the Trump administration can immediately end temporary protected status for people from Haiti and Syria, as well as more than a dozen other countries, essentially because the president and his goons feel like it. They also ruled that the administration can turn back asylum seekers at the border before they have a chance to make claims. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The TPS decision means that the 1.3 million people in the US who were previously shielded from deportation will lose their legal status, including permission to work here. They\u2019ll leave, go underground, or attempt to find another legal way to remain, by petitioning a government that is openly hostile to them and has blocked off every meaningful path to immigration. <\/span><\/p>\n

Attorneys for the TPS recipients argued that the Trump administration was motivated by racism when it revoked their status, especially when it comes to Haitians. Which is so blindingly obvious that it hardly needs arguing. But for those who insist on pretending otherwise, Justice Elena Kagan laid it all out pretty well in her dissent. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kagan listed many \u201crepellent and racially inflected\u201d statements by the president, which were \u201cshot through with racial stereotypes and tropes\u201d and references to \u201cfilth, disease and primitiveness.\u201d She quoted President Trump accusing Haitians of eating people\u2019s pets, claiming they \u201cprobably have AIDS,\u201d and that they and other immigrants are \u201cpoisoning the blood\u201d of our country. <\/span><\/p>\n

Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority, countered the claim of racism by citing Trump\u2019s cancellation of TPS for other countries, too, including those in Asia, Africa, South America, and the Middle East. Perhaps it\u2019s just a coincidence that most immigrants from those places are also not white? <\/span><\/p>\n

Weird, also, that, after closing our refugee program to virtually everybody else, this administration has thrown open our doors only to white people from South Africa, more than 6,000 of whom have been fast-tracked through what\u2019s usually a years-long process. <\/span><\/p>\n

And for those who will inevitably ask, \u201cWhat part of \u2018temporary\u2019 don\u2019t you understand?\u201d consider this: Everybody concedes the administration has the right to end TPS for a group \u2014 but until now, they have been required to make that decision based on conditions in recipients\u2019 home countries. There\u2019s no evidence they did that. Haiti is still an incredibly dangerous place: Trump\u2019s own State Department has advised Americans not to travel there \u201cdue to kidnapping, crime, terrorist activity, civil unrest, and limited health care.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

And for those who continue to insist, against evidence to the contrary, that they welcome immigrants who come here \u201cthe right way,\u201d are you seeing how few legal ways are actually left for non-white immigrants? Taking his victory lap on Thursday, a delighted Trump adviser Stephen Miller said, \u201cAmerica\u2019s doors are closed, fully, to asylum seekers,\u201d and claimed that every asylum application is \u201cfake.\u201d He also vowed to end birthright citizenship. <\/span><\/p>\n

These are heady days for the millions of Americans who need to believe Black and brown people \u2014 and not the billionaires picking their pockets \u2014 are to blame for white people\u2019s woes, and for those who seem happy to see immigrants suffer at the hands of officials unconstrained by law or decency. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s an empty high, though. <\/span><\/p>\n

Because Americans depend on these people more than the hardliners appear to understand. As of early 2025, TPS holders live with 390,000 citizen children and 410,000 citizen adults, who are supported by their work, according to an analysis of census and other government data by immigrant advocacy group FWD.us. They contribute $29 billion annually to the US economy, plus $7.8 billion in taxes. Over the last 25 years, they have contributed $20 billion to Social Security, which benefits all Americans.<\/span><\/p>\n

And they\u2019re doing jobs that are incredibly hard to fill, in construction, hospitality, transportation, and especially in health care, where foreign-born people make up some 36 percent of the health support workforce in Massachusetts. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to care about the human aspect of this to see it is an economic disaster, and especially a disaster for health care,\u201d said Angela Bovill, CEO of Ascentria Care Alliance, which both resettles refugees and runs eight nursing homes and care facilities in New England.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are no refugees to resettle, so that side of the operation has shrunk, and Ascentria now only provides services to those lucky enough to have gotten in before Trump did his worst. There have been layoffs, and more will come. <\/span><\/p>\n

The facilities in which her staff care for the elderly and vulnerable are in crisis because of staffing shortages. <\/span><\/p>\n

Her workers start at $20 to $25 an hour for duties that include dressing, feeding, washing, and toileting those who cannot do it for themselves; administering medications; transporting patients; and providing companionship and emotional support. As anybody who has ever been within a mile of a nursing home knows, white, native-born Americans are hardly clamoring for those vital jobs. <\/span><\/p>\n

The shortages have worsened since the president began targeting Haitians, and some of those caregivers have left. She expects to lose 35 to 40 more workers as a result of Thursday\u2019s decision. Combine that with upcoming Republican cuts to Medicaid funding, and she\u2019s looking at an existential crisis. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou will see people go out of business,\u201d Bovill said. \u201cWe hope to be one of the ones standing after all this, but we cannot guarantee it at every location.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s only going to get worse as baby boomers age, exploding the ranks of those needing care. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, the president and his cronies will be fine when all of this blows up. They can afford the care the rest of us should be able to take for granted. It\u2019s ordinary people who will pay the price, including the MAGA types who applaud Trump\u2019s cruelty.<\/span><\/p>\n
