"The Immigration Court backlog continues to rise. As of November 30, 2018, the number of pending cases on the court's active docket topped eight-hundred thousand (809,041) cases. This is almost a fifty percent (49.1%) increase compared to the 542,411 cases pending at the end of January 2017 when President Trump took office. This figure does not include the additional 330,211 previously completed cases that EOIR placed back on the "pending" rolls that have not yet been put onto the active docket[1]."

I predict that the full extent of the expedited removal proceedings will be used to give the bums rush to undocumented aliens who weren't admitted lawfully and can't prove to the satisfaction of an immigration officer that they have been physically present for two or more years. Asylum is barred if they have been here for more than one year, and the aliens would have to prove that they have been present for less than a year. I doubt that many of them will be able to get or even apply for asylum.
