I think this is a GREAT change. It allows cases to move more quickly than before. Instead of waiting so long, a case can be decided quicker and the person can appeal it in a more timely manner. Speeding up the process is a good thing. And this appears to be cost effective as well. I would support more judges and courts IF having more would mean decisions would be made on site rather than just preliminary hearings and letting them go. It should work like this.More changes at BIA.
Appellants automatically lose, unless a majority agree to hear the appeal.
DOJ wants to turbocharge deportations by swiftly dismissing immigration court appeals
A proposed rule change from the Department of Justice would force the Board of Immigration Appeals to dismiss most of them, unless a majority of the board agrees to hear them.
The proposal takes a “sledgehammer” to due process, according to Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow with immigration advocacy think tank American immigration Council.
Board of Immigration Appeals judges do not typically hear cases but review and make decisions based on the record in immigration courts. Those are decided by individual members of the 19-member Board — 12 of whom were appointed by Bondi.
You come in and claim asylum, you get put is a holding facility and within a week you go see a judge and present your case. The judge should be required to make a decision within a week. Then you are either approved or not. If not approved, you remain in holding until appeals are over. Once its all done, you arw either returned home or are allowed in. This whole process shouldn't take longer than 6 months.
I also thonk we need to change the laws on seeking asylum. If you want asylum you should have two choices. You can seek it on line or present yourself to a border facility. If you sneak over and get caught yoj should NOT be allowed to seek asylum. You are immediately arrested and deported without appeal. Period.
