Wait Times for Citizenship Have Doubled in the Last Two Years

How much of that "nothingness" is farmland though?

You're really going to play the nativist card right now?

"God damn Latin American illegal crop pickers are eating all the god damn food".


This thread is about wait times for processing legal immigrants, another thing that Trump and Miller have purposefully f'd up for no reason other than their blatant nativist white supremacist agenda.


Some of you guys really deserve to have your jaws broken.

You're really going to play the nativist card right now?

Why are you jumping to random conclusions? The point is simply if that "nothingness" is in fact farmland then one cannot simply "move in".

pretty awful point breh

who ever complained about illegals moving to a remote part of montana and requiring zero government assistance? no one, because it never happened

This thread isn't about illegals, it's about legal residents applying for citizenship. The bullshyt response of overpopulation doesn't hold weight because these people are going to be in the country whether they get citizenship or not because they're legal residents. You also said earlier that no one was owed citizenship, which is also bullshyt because being born here entitled people to citizenship and we have a legal process for people not born here to gain citizenship. These people are following that process and being stalled.

You always argued that your problem was with illegal immigrants because they broke the law. These are law abiding immigrants doing things "the right way" and you still seem to have a problem with them. Maybe your problem with immigrants has nothing to do with the law.

i break the law myself i dont really care about or respect laws. and i understand why illegals break our laws to come here. my issue has always been that you should be allowed to point out that illegals coming here, is mostly only good for illegal immigrants

and legal immigrants are obviously welcome to apply, but who asked them to come here? i can go get on the waiting list to become a japanese citizen right now; what the fukk do they owe me? how soon should i "expect" them to grant me citizenship? the answer is however long they fukkin feel like it

Your point is the awful one. I dont see any nuance in the post breh you quoted replied to, nor do I ever see any nuance when people make their anti immigrant talking points.

Breh is right, overpopulation is THE mpst disingenous anti immigrant argurment you can make. Zero factual basis.

Oh and for the bold.

@the cac mamba

Why do you say this a good thing? I get your argument on why we should have less undocumented immigrants but slowing fown the citizen and overall immigration process increases undocumented immigrants. People might not complete or bother to complete paperwork due to monetary and time constraints. By increasing the time constraint and MAKING the time longer you are encouraging undocumented immigration. Not only that but you now make it harder to track immigrants in general since you create inefficiencies in the system.

Want to truly reduce immigration and do it cheaply? Fix your upstream issues first and speed up the wait times.

@the cac mamba

Why do you say this a good thing? .

well first of all, i didnt so you'll have to address what i actually said

 

[ill]

celebrate illegals' tactics of clogging the immigration courts and impeding of ICE efforts, but then complain about the delay and lack of resources for legal immigrants brehs

This needs repeating. On point 100%. The Coli in a nutshell.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

why should we have pride for a country like the United States, cac

.why the disgusting face ?

If we shut down legal immigration then we shut down its the president call. This isn't some right , we don't have to let immigrants in. I don't get some of you, it's frustrating because I can tell you have no national pride .Iff we make a call of not over populating the US with immigrants , why would you care ?

 

[Perfectson]

why should we have pride for a country like the United States, cac

Where do you stay ? I have pride wherever I stay, and that's I'm improving it as much as possible

 

[hayesc0]

Brehs, you don't go to immigration court to apply for citizenship. Those two things have NOTHING to do with each other.

And who was celebrating those supposed "tactics"?



On top of that, illegal immigration peaked in 2007. If it was the fault of illegal immigrants that the courts were clogged, then that shyt would have happened a decade ago.

Wait times doubled when Trump took office because of what TRUMP did. You seriously want to argue otherwise?

The Trump administration may soon add hundreds of thousands of new immigration court cases to an already massive—and rapidly growing—backlog, as a key corner of the legal system in the United States slows to a standstill and asylum seekers suffer unprecedented wait times. The administration has promised to take sweeping measures to slash the backlog, but some legal analysts are skeptical of the administration's actual goal, questioning whether the administration might be clogging the system to fulfill pledges to its anti-immigrant base.

Immigration authorities began the year with a heightened spike in the backlog. The number of pending immigration court cases soared by 30,000 to more than 650,000 in the first two months of the 2018 fiscal year, according to a count of public records conducted by Syracuse University and published late last week. In those two months alone, the growth in pending cases outpaced that of the entire 2017 fiscal year, the report showed.

But the administration has signaled it may soon dwarf that substantial uptick in immigration cases. Last week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions called to review the practice of so-called administrative closures, in which a judge does not rule in favor of an immigration claim but bars an immigrant from deportation while they petition for citizenship, the Associated Press reported. Among the questions Sessions posed on the closed cases, he indicated that he may consider re-opening them, the report said, effectively adding some 350,000 administratively closed cases to an already overloaded docket.

told the Washington Post it aimed to do by adding more judges and updating technology in courts.

Immigration law experts observe that, while the administration claims to tackle the backlog, it is simultaneously creating more cases that fund it.

"The backlog is directly attributable to the Trump administration's broad enforcement priorities, which do not distinguish between immigrants with longstanding ties in the U.S. and strong legal defenses to being deported," says Richard A. Boswell, a law professor at the University of California–Hastings College of the Law.

In addition to Sessions potentially re-opening 350,000 closed cases, there's more still that the administration is doing to burden the courts; the upheaval wrought by months of controversial anti-immigrant policies is expected to funnel hundreds of thousands more into the court system.

Likely factoring into the backlog are, barring an act of Congress guaranteeing their status, the 690,000 recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and the people rounded up in a much-touted recent surge in Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests following directives in executive orders that Trump signed shortly after his inauguration last year. On Monday, the administration announced its decision to discontinue temporary protected status for some 200,000 Salvadoran escapees of natural and political disaster. Many of those Salvadoran Americans may also end up in immigration court, particularly as a large proportion are married to U.S. citizens. Others have little hope of a successful court bid to remain in the U.S., despite having children who are U.S. nationals.

The backlog has left many families burdened and analysts with little faith in the functions of government. And now, everyone seems to be struggling to interpret whether the Trump administration is doing what it claims to be doing, or if it's engaged in some complex act of brinkmanship.
