Gee, and I wonder who would appoint the replacements? Government is bad enough with inertia in terms of addressing immigration issues, much less when you have the open borders crowd deciding cases.
MIAMI (AP) — The nation’s already backlogged immigration courts might soon be thrown into more havoc as roughly half of their 220 judges will be eligible for retirement next year.
The Executive Office for Immigration Review, which oversees the nation’s 59 immigration courts, says the court already has 32 vacancies, contributing to the current backlog of nearly 350,000 cases. Judges are overwhelmed, and immigrants with legitimate asylum claims can spend years in legal limbo.
Meanwhile, immigrants without legitimate legal claims remain in the country, while Americans foot the bill for them to be locked up longer.
