We should expect extreme measures to deal with the backlog now that it is known that EOIR can't deal with it by hiring more judges. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee revealed that fact in a hearing last week. “No experience required: US hiring immigration judges who don't have any immigration law experience” by Nolan Rappaport

My prediction is that they will suspend consideration of asylum applications until the backlog is under control, which could take a very long time.

Can anyone suggest another way to do it?
