The Trump administration has been laser-focused on correcting the course the Biden administration was taking in regards to immigration.
The mass migration crisis has taken center stage with a declaration of a national emergency at the border and the suspension of programs like the CBP One and CHNV (Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela) parole programs.
Border Patrol encounters have plummeted with daily averages dropping from the thousands to mere dozens in some locales.
Increased security on both sides of the southern border has significantly blunted gotaway number, with agents telling Border Hawk they go entire shifts and see NO CROSSERS.
Great news!

Pinning down the exact number of people in the country illegally is difficult due to incomplete data and the varied ways by which people come to the U.S.
Estimates range from 15 to 30 million, but we can safely say the problem became exponentially worse during the Biden administration.
Between encounter numbers, gotaways, parole programs, and the gross number of migrants entering the country, an extremely reasonable estimate is that 12 million people entered the U.S. during the Biden era.
How do you remove 12 million people during the next 4 years?
Judges. More judges. Many more judges.
There are only 735 U.S. immigration judges, which is why we have a major problem in immigration courts. They currently have 3-5 million cases backlogged, and 1.5 million people already waiting to be deported after final hearings.
Want to see mass deportations? Former immigration judge Matt O’Brien of the Immigration Reform Law Institute has the answer: “If we were to deal with stuff correctly, there should be an immigration court in every major U.S. city in the country, and there should be one at regular intervals along the borders and both coasts.”
If the administration wants to remove just the 12 million people who are here illegally from the prior administration, it needs to dramatically increase the number of judges adjudicating immigration cases.
Whether by appropriating other judges or adding new ones, there needs to be immediate, drastic changes to deal with this crisis.
Let thousand[s] of immigration judges bloom.
