It would appear that the ramping up of the number of cases pending and as well the detention facilities running out of space seem to be as a result of 0zero's policy shift to focus on criminals. This shift is being further implemented SO one could guess that things are going to get worse will be heading in this worsening direction at an accelerated fashion.

An obvious question --is 0zero that cunning and devious as to create his own emergency to take advantage of to facilitate policy interpreted backdoor amnesty and or an impetus for 'reform' legislation?

Referring to the following March 27, 2010 Washington Post article it appears we see an emergency being created -the question is, do we see an emergency created by inept policy resulting in unintended consequences or do we see an emergency created by design? IF the policy does not change in response on the face of objective results thus far THEN my vote is that we see here with 0zero an emergency created by design...

ICE officials set quotas to deport more illegal immigrants

-small excerpts:

Seeking to reverse a steep drop in deportations, U.S. immigration authorities have set controversial new quotas for agents. At the same time, officials have stepped back from an Obama administration commitment to focus enforcement efforts primarily on illegal immigrants who are dangerous or have violent criminal backgrounds.

An immigration official said deportations are falling mainly because the focus on criminals has added a complication: It takes an average of 45 days to deport criminals, compared with 11 days for non-criminals, creating a shortage of detention beds. The number of beds was also limited because costs were higher than Congress expected, the official said.
Deportations of convicted criminals climbed 19 percent in 2009 and are on pace to climb 40 percent this year, while deportations of non-criminal illegal immigrants fell 3 percent and are on pace to drop 33 percent this year, agency officials said.
