More than 1.5 million people in the US are waiting for their asylum claims to be heard, as the Supreme Court weighs the merits of the Trump-era Title 42 health policy — and could order it ended as soon as Tuesday.

The number of pending asylum applications has exploded in the past decade, according to an analysis of federal data by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University, and fears have grown that lifting Title 42 could unleash a fresh surge of migration across the US-Mexico border

The number of asylum seekers — 1,565,966 — is split between the 767,882 waiting for hearings before judges in the Department of Justice’s Immigration Courts and the 778,084 waiting for hearings before US Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Homeland Security Department, the analysis says.

This country is sunk.

Here’s how to cut down on a majority of them.... anyone coming here because they can’t find a job in their own country is disqualified. That is not a legitimate cause for asylum. The rules are specific and being poor or unemployed are not reasons for asylum.

Also, anyone who came through Mexico from a country where they truly were in danger, must stay in Mexico or stay in the 1st safe country they entered.
