Like that surprise hidden on page 302 - which would replace the country's entire bench of experienced immigration judges with pro-immigration advocates.

Anyone know who specifically was responsible for THAT?

With a few exceptions, today's immigration judges (who serve for life) are dedicated to enforcing the law, and they do a difficult job well. This bill forces all immigration judges to step down after serving seven years - and restricts replacements to attorneys with at least five years' experience practicing immigration law.

Maybe it's just me, but how does one go about replacing a judge who is appointed for life? Don't the current judges have to voluntarily retire first?

I wonder if the president knew about these provisions...
