So do you support massively expanding the immigration court system? That's all you need to do to solve that problem. If immigrants' asylum claims are heard quickly - within months, rather than years - then these issues disappear. Asylees with valid claims don't have to spend years in limbo; asylees with invalid claims get adjudicated quickly and don't get to stay for very long - perhaps even a short enough period that they can be detained for most of it.

Any objection to that? - albaby

====================

Just the enormousness of the resources required. If 5,000 legitimate sounding claims arrive every day, then there must be a corresponding 5,000 cases concluded every day to keep up.

Think of each court is a little machine that has teams of people to organize the daily flow of 5,000 applicants into and through the court. Then on the back end, two other sub-teams are required - a welcome to America team and Deportation team. With a 40% success rate the welcome team will need to process about 2,000 per day and the deportation team will need to process about 3,000 per day.

How many total people does it take to operate each machine, 100? 200?

How many copies of this machine do you need to reliably produce 5,000 units a day?

Enormous. And will take years to hire and train this massive workforce and construct the facilities they will work in. Relief will certainly be slow and years away.
