President Trump took the adage about finding yourself in a hole and stopping digging to heart, at least when it comes to illegal immigration, where his almost miraculous improvements at the southern border have resulted in the first sustained decrease in the immigration court backlog in nearly two decades.
In little more than six months, Mr. Trump pared the Biden-era backlog of more than 4.2 million pending cases before immigration judges to 3.8 million.
Some of that is because of better efficiency in the immigration courts, officially known as the Executive Office for Immigration Review. However, “the real change has been the drop in new cases,” a senior Justice Department official said.

However, “the real change has been the drop in new cases,” a senior Justice Department official said.
It amazes me that there are 3.8 million cases in the backlog, much less 4.2 million. That is a crisis in and of itself.
Give all of the AIAIs a coupon for one “Due Process” and send them home. We’ll grow our own marijuana. We owe the AIAIs nothing. They work for the Acme Illegal Alien Invader Co.
We’ve got over 50 million illegals here now. They are probably procreating close to the rate that Biden shipped them in.
It seems this would usually be straightforward. Asylum and issues similar to asylum (chain migration) are involved. As long as you don’t have corrupt judges getting bribes or leftists that want all illegals to stay, you should be able to deport most of them.
This is the only time these people have even been looked at.
LOL - good one Flyer
Closing the birth citizenship loophole and severe penalties for employers of illegals are the two biggest items needing to be achieved.
John Prine! :)
““People at the border are no longer able to present protection cases for asylum,” Mr. Orozco said.”
That’s not the appropriate place to make the claim. Obviously anyone doing so is making a false claim.
“Toward the end of the Obama years, the backlog topped 750,000 cases.
It doubled during Mr. Trump’s first term to more than 1.5 million.
The numbers spiraled out of control under Mr. Biden, with cases surging past 4 million.”
Interesting numbers.

Zero - nobody cared, no enforcement
Trump - real effort
Biden - hey, looks like we are doing something but really not.
If Whitmer wins I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a “recreational vehicle.” And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?
It won’t be either of them.
My CA sources say its Pete Buttigieg even though they know he will loose.
Similar to when the GOP-e picked McCain to loose.

And become a Dental Floss tycoon!
Hunt of The Red October reference!
I AM SURPRISED IT IS ONLY THAT AMOUNT
That’s why Trump needs to get on Vote Fraud - BEFORE the mid-term elections. If Democrats win via cheating, Trump’s entire agenda will be stymied.
He’s working on it..
August 18th:
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
“I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly “Inaccurate,” Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES, which cost Ten Times more than accurate and sophisticated Watermark Paper, which is faster, and leaves NO DOUBT, at the end of the evening, as to who WON, and who LOST, the Election. We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED. WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY CHEAT AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, by signing an EXECUTIVE ORDER to help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections. Remember, the States are merely an “agent” for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do. With their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies, like Open Borders, Men Playing in Women’s Sports, Transgender and “WOKE” for everyone, and so much more, Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM. ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING, and everybody, IN PARTICULAR THE DEMOCRATS, KNOWS THIS. I, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WILL FIGHT LIKE HELL TO BRING HONESTY AND INTEGRITY BACK TO OUR ELECTIONS. THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX, USING VOTING MACHINES THAT ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER, MUST END, NOW!!! REMEMBER, WITHOUT FAIR AND HONEST ELECTIONS, AND STRONG AND POWERFUL BORDERS, YOU DON’T HAVE EVEN A SEMBLANCE OF A COUNTRY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”
Trump needs to do this NOW - and, of course, there will be a flurry of lawsuits from the Democrats...
My wife remarked about how many things are getting so much better with Trump and that we are on our way to coming back. I told her that it is only a pause. The left will return but also that they will eventually regroup and do more than harass but instead fight like they did in Trump’s first term.
