“Trump’s tough talk alone appears to be one of the administration’s best bulwarks: Illegal crossings along the border with Mexico have plunged to their lowest level in 45 years, and U.S. agents are catching a far greater share of those attempting to sneak in. Applications for H-1B skilled visas and new foreign-student enrollment have also declined”
Imagine what President Trump could accomplish with a supportive GOP and fewer leftist judges.

Immigration cases are heard by dedicated immigration judges.
One of the many effective measures that the Trump Administration is putting in place, is hiring more full time immigration judges.
They have already hired 50 new judges - and that has been enough to turn the corner on the backlog of cases. For the first time in many years, the backlog has stopped growing.
Attorney General Sessions recently testified to Congress on how effective these Judges have been, and that the Administration is on track with their plan to hire several hundred new ones. They also intend to station Judges at collection points near the border, for quick turnaround of recently captured border crossers - including 24 hour a day court schedules.
