As of now, the United States is home to around eleven million illegal immigrants who are vying for the US citizenship. In spite of constant protests, the issue of immigration reform is still the hot debate. This also calls for the need of strict security measures for the undocumented immigrants making their way into the U.S. premises.

Let us scrutinize the statement by an Immigration judge, Dana L. Marks, who said that overcrowding in Immigration courts has resulted from gigantic caseload, courtesy the massive intake of undocumented immigrants.

When we talk about the Immigration courts, they are not the ones which belong to the judicial branch of government. On the contrary, judges work under the attorney general. He went on to give an example that almost 231 judges integrated an average of 1,200 cases, a situation which he termed as traffic court!

Report by the American Bar Assn. suggests that in order to abolish “public skepticism,” it is advised that the court system must be liberated from the Justice Department. The report further says that in a majority of cases, the outcomes of the proceedings count on which judge hears the case rather than the facets of the case study. The results are often inconsistent, an issue which calls the appointment of more judges in the upcoming future.

“Immigration” is seriously becoming one of the most discussed facets of Obama’s administration. With plenty of issues still left uncovered, the officials need to look at every aspect with a microscopic view!
