Ted Cruz proposed more judges. In response Trump said “I don’t want more judges.”LeafByNiggle:

That would be 350 Federal Judges of his choosing that would be rubber-stamped by Congress.
He might stop laughing at his good fortune by 2020.
Using @LeafByNiggle statistics from above of a backlog of 600,000 cases with 50,000 new cases per month, 350 is a drop in the bucket.Augustinian:
In that case we would be no worse off than we are now. Plus, those deserving of asylum would receive asylum sooner. That sounds like a win.LeafByNiggle:
If hundreds of judges were appointed, and they were able to adjudicate these deportations quickly, the cases would dry up as Illegals would find another loophole to use to stay.
Are you suggesting that we increase the number of immigration judges much more? Or are you suggesting everyone wait years to have their appeal heard? Or are you suggesting we halt all asylum?LeafByNiggle:

There is no way to adjudicate them justly.
I am suggesting that all asylum requests be done in at the embassies and consulates of foreign countries instead of on the border.
No, the do not. The fact that you used the word “prison,” along with the omission of the critical phrase “up to” shows you are not familiar with the subject. The vast majority do not serve time. Once again, so much of this rhetoric is grounded ignorance. “Enforce the law” is nothing but a slogan if one does not know the law. The opinions here are about as valid as my opinion on quantum mechanics.
He believes due process does not require judges. Again, if an opinion from ignorance is the new norm in the misinformation age.
That doesn’t address the problem of what to do with those we are currently holding.LeafByNiggle:

The staff at the embassy would be in better position to judge the validity of the claimed threat they are seeking asylum from. Further, the asylum applicant can apply for refuge from Germany, Italy, Korea or other nations that might have consulates nearby- if they are anxious.
The current situation just isn’t sustainable.
Then my question still stands. If 350 is only a drop in the bucket, what should we do about those who have applied for asylum and are currently detained?
Sure it does, send them back to their own countries to continue their asylum applications.
Together with their children, right?LeafByNiggle:

Precisely.
