Didn't we used to look down on countries that jailed immigrants just for crossing the border? Not exactly where I want my tax dollars going.

The Supreme Court didn't rule whether the law is constitutional, but said that the appeals court didn't follow the right steps

so nothing of substance has been decided here, this is just a procedural step

It's a bit more than procedural. The law is allowed to be enforced until another decision is reached. Now it's up to the governor-for-life what to do with that.
