'First off, try to get out of your mind that 12 million is a big number. It's not. In the course of two weeks DC's Metro-rail system moves that many passengers."

Right, but not every metro-rail rider gets a perfunctory administrative hearing before they board, unlike illegals. And, unless you replace the entire Supreme Court, that's not going to change.

As I pointed out in another post, if you wanted to get it done in five years, you're talking about well over 6K people daily, everyday including Sunday. It would paralyze our court system for half a decade.

Look, it should be possible to simply set up temporary detention facilities somewhere adjacent to the Mexican border for those folks to wait in pending the hearings.

For hearings I'd mount an examiner and a couple of lawyers on the back of a pickup truck and drive through the crowd.

Stop regularly, adjudicate, and that's it.

Plenty of lawyers around for this sort of thing (times are tough even for them), and pickups? Government OWNS GM. Just run off some new ones.

At the end of the program we hold a raffle ~ the illegals are the only ones who can enter, but you got 1 chance for a buck.

Winners get the trucks.

Note ~ know a guy who did something like 800 non-profit mailing permit applications in four weeks once.

1 guy.

No doubt the administrative hearing can be reduced to something pretty much like an application review, and for enough money I could run 800 a month.

With 12,000,000 people a mere 1,000 examiners could process all of them in 15 months.

Certainly America does not want for qualified lawyers to handle this ~ must be at least that many exceedingly well trained Indian and Pakistani immigration lawyers in this country ~ just "insource/outsource" the job.
