New migrants pouring into the U.S. after the Biden administration let a COVID-19 restriction called Title 42 expire last week will not break the nation’s stretched court system. The system is already shattered, according to several former judges, immigration experts, and Department of Homeland Security data. The average wait time for a “Notice to Appear” before a judge at one of the nation’s 66 immigration courts is now four and a half years. In some cities it is much longer. In New York City, new migrants do not have to appear in court until 2032. This growing backlog creates an incentive for more people to cross the border

May take ten years to get a court date but they'll have driver's licenses and voter registration cards next week.

They are not "migrants", they are invaders. I live in a rural agricultural county/state that depends upon workers to milk the cows and harvest the crops. There is a huge dairy just a several miles from where I live; I can see their operation from my deck. The owners used to have a dairy in California, but had to relocate to Idaho because of the restrictions. I would go out on a limb and say most of the Hispanic people who live in my small town are here for a better life and work. But there is a down side. The gangs come here too, and there are drive-by shootings several times in a town just 20 miles away. After the last Biden statement about the "secure border", I told my husband we need loaded guns on both levels of our house.

Failure to appear, even 4-10 years from now, should remove any sort of asylum claim. It should cancel out that designation.

Biden and the Democrats know that if illegal aliens appear in an immigration court and claim asylum, and if the immigration (asylum) laws are properly administered by the court, that nine out of ten of those asylum claims will be denied, as has been historically happened, after the immigration judges found that the respondents were actually economic migrants without immigrant visas who came to the USA to get a job and live a better life, factors that do not qualify illegal aliens for asylum.
Instead what the leftist Democrats really intend to do is grant all illegal aliens in the USA a Democrat designed “path to citizenship” amnesty by way of a series of Democrat designed amnesty and legalization programs that the leftist Democrats plan to include in any so-called “comprehensive immigration reform package” that passes Congress, of course with stupid wimpy Republican and RINO support so that the leftist Democrats claim that those amnesties are bipartisan. Another pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens that the Democrats plan to establish is to misuse the immigration “parole” provisions, to “parole” as many illegal aliens as possible into the USA, essentially making mass uncontrolled illegal immigration effectively legal contrary to the immigration laws, and then after those “paroled” illegal aliens are in the USA for one year to simply adjust their “parole” status to that of permanent resident aliens (green card holders) a status that would qualify them in five years for naturalized US citizenship that grants them US voting rights, and the right to petition to bring their extended foreign family members into the USA.
The leftist Democrats are banking on the fact that the vast majority of the incoming illegal aliens are poor, uneducated, unskilled and non English speaking people from all over the third world who fit within the minority group categories defined by Democrat identity politics who the leftist Democrats believe will embrace the socialist oriented Democrat political agenda, and will become future leftist Democrat supporters and voters by the tens of millions in the years ahead. Clearly the leftist Democrat plan for them to stay in permanent political power is to pile up former illegal alien votes by the tens of millions in future elections. Certainly the leftist Democrats would not be allowing any sort of mass uncontrolled illegal immigration or “open borders” to continue if they ever thought that more than a very small percentage of illegal aliens would become conservative, or establishment Republican supporters and voters.

The judges can speed things up. Just say "Go home - next case."

I wouldn't worry about clogging the courts. Most of them have no plans to show up for their hearing.

This isn't an "immigration" issue but national security. We already allow 1 MILLION LEGAL immigrants into this country every year. Hopefully most bring skills with them to benefit the country.
Why do our laws even mention asylum seekers? Does any other country go out of its way for so-called "asylum seekers" as we do in the USA? Once these illegal migrants receives that Notice to Appear piece of paper, they have some legal status: per a neighbor who is local police, that NTA allows them to get drivers licenses, board a commercial jet, open up bank account (Ha - when everything is cash) etc.
If a certain industry needs experienced workers, then petition Congress for specific number of VISAs with limited time in this country. And lets actually ENFORCE our immigration laws such s those who overstay their visas. Yes, they should have to register with local police, et.
And as #2 points out - yes, many work hard and want to do well in this country but they also bring a a lot of the garbage that made them leave their home country and quite honestly. Their own country's elites want these bottom of the socio-economic ladder out of their country.

We are being invaded on our southern border by close to a million people - currently - of mostly military-age men and we are giving them pizza and sandwiches and housing them in hotels and school gymnasiums. Is there anyone in our Department of Defense who might find this worrisome? I mean, it seems stupid to me.

"Oh, they're here to do the jobs Americans won't do."
Stop giving able-bodied gimmedat Americans Welfare, and we'll eliminate the invaders.
