Subject: Re: Why the border bill will fail
That reduces the wait on new entrants. Does nothing to address the massive backlog of cases that are already here.

You also had both the increase in immigration law judges and the shift in processing of many cases out of the immigration courts into an administrative process. Both of which would have significantly cut into that backlog.

But now...you have nothing. No changes to the law. Which means that even if Trump were to be put in office tomorrow, there would still be that huge backlog (he lacks the authority to expel the asylees and lacks the resources to detain them). So no improvement at all.
