Last call in America: You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here

Closing time comes to every bar, and nobody acts surprised when the lights come up. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court let the Trump administration resume deporting people with final removal orders to countries other than their own while the justices hear the case in December. Predictably, the three left-leaning justices dissented. My view is simple. If you entered illegally, a judge ordered you out, and your homeland won’t take you, America can send you somewhere that will. The only destination off the table is staying here.
