Statement of Gregory Chen Senior Director of Government Relations
By Submitted to the U.S. House of Representatives Immigration Subcommittee of the Committee on the Judiciary Hearing on The Impact of Illegal Immigration on Social Services


The months- and years-long case delays in nearly every immigration category exacerbate bottlenecks in border processing. Similarly, the chronic underfunding of immigration courts has contributed to a case backlog now exceeding three million cases. The backlog keeps asylum seekers waiting an average of four years for a final hearing in immigration courts.
