According to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, immigration courts across the country already are facing large backlogs.
The wait time for a hearing on an immigrant's asylum claim is about five years or longer.
“While the Executive Office for Immigration Review has ramped up recruiting efforts to add new immigration judges, decades of underfunding have meant that it has been unable to make a dent in the backlog, which continues to climb. It has reached 2,620,591 at the end of August,” according to the TRAC website.
