And fire any judges that don’t use pre approved guidelines.
I’d be willing to come out of retirement for a year or so to serve as a temporary immigration judge. I know of many other retired and semi-retired attorneys who would be happy to do the same.
what does a habeas corpus hearing look like?
there is only one question
do you have evidence of US citizenry or other legal status?
no, AMF!
line them up in detention and have the judge walk the line
nope, deport
nope, deport
nope, deport

How about no new funding? Find a way to take care of it without a net increase in bureaucrats and judges. First of all make it harder for them to get in.

just send them to the detention centers

Nope. Just deport them. Ignore the judges.
Offer judge positions to all of the Jan 6th former political prisoners.
There is no requirement to have a law degree to be a Federal judge.
It would go a ways to helping do right by those whose lives were upended unjustly. And they have a good deal of familiarity with the federal criminal legal system.
You don't need to hire any new employees. There is no requirement that an immigration judge even have a law degree or be an attorney. They are administrative judges not criminal. They don't have to be a member of the bar and are not considered officers of the "court". Any currently serving civil service employee can be appointed to the position.
We did not need billions of dollars and "comprehensive immigration reform" to secure the border. All it took was the will to apply existing law.
There are tens of thousands of current federal employees with extensive knowledge of immigration laws and regulations because they are in the field applying those laws daily.
The only thing an immigration judge does is ensure the process is followed and apply the law as written. It's not that hard.
Can we volunteer?
