TOGETHER WE STAND TO FIX ASYLUM BACKLOGS!

Why We Need Action Now

Our Immigration system is badly broken and needs to be fixed now. You only need to watch the news to see what's going on in the nation. The influx of migrants at the border has caused multifaceted negative effects on the U.S., including for asylum seekers. America should have a robust immigration policy. The current system needs to be fixed!

Non-citizens come into the country and enter legally or illegally. Some of them who come in illegally are criminals causing crimes and division in our country. Others come as asylum seekers looking for sanctuary. Those seeking asylum will not have amnesty hearings for years, because the courts can't handle the case backlogs.

Illegal Border crossings have slowed, but asylum seekers continue to come find refuge.

"Para-lawyers" should be trained to be Immigration judges to hear the cases. Flood them in communities and open up hearings wherever space is available in the federal buildings. This will result in a dramatic increase in cases processed and will fix one part of the immigration problem. It should be non-partisan, being a stand-alone change without needing to be debated as part of a new Immigration policy.

Unfortunately, some amnesty requests will be denied, but criminal illegal aliens should be deported.
