This is just one in a series of actions that AG Sessions has taken to reduce illegal immigration. It is his signature issue.

In the Senate, Jeff Sessions was the leader in opposing illegal immigration, and was immersed in the policy issues, as the Obama Administration was creating all of these gaping loopholes. He knows their tricks.

Central to the Obama Administration’s approach, was the Cloward-Piven strategy of overwhelming the ability of the Government to manage a function, through sheer volume.

AG Sessions has been attacking the backlog of immigration cases, and the contributing factors, on a full court press since he took over. He has been proven to be the right guy for the job, on this issue. The titanic growth of the backlog has finally been halted, and it has finally started to trend downwards. This rule will reduce it more - perhaps the system could not bear this additional volume before. He has rolled out changes at an aggressive pace, with first priority given to violent offenders and gang members.

The court system now is actually straining under the increased emphasis on immigration cases, due to Sessions’ revised rules and policies. Lots of folks have been squawking that they are having to defer other types of prosecutions.

On top of this (as the story notes), law enforcement rules and policies have also been changed by Sessions to reduce illegal immigration - ICE is arresting and deporting more.

In both Law Enforcement and the courts, DOJ under AG Sessions has been shifting resources toward reducing illegal immigration significantly. There has been a hiring surge for new immigration judges, and they have been positioning many new judges close to border crossings for rapid judgement of new cases.

This is just another significant step in a broad and effective effort by DOJ to reduce and control illegal immigration.
