Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% :Gundavaram hopes that the Supreme Court's decision means that the country will be able to hold on to "what our international treaties and also our statutes say about seeking asylum and coming to the border."
48% : The ruling comes at the tail end of a series of controversial Supreme Court decisions, including the court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and scale back the regulatory powers of the Environmental Protection Agency.
46% : Once they get their case started, it could be another few years, given our long backlogs, but at least they'll be able to do that in the relative safety of the United States."As far as the immediate impact of the court's decision, once the Biden administration officially ends the "Remain in Mexico" program, Gundavaram said migrants and asylum seekers­­ will find some measure of safety while waiting for their case to be heard in the U.S."That's the part that I feel a little relieved about because people have been getting harmed daily for these years," Gundavaram said.
