Vetting immigrants

As of Feb, this year, 3,313,000 immigrant cases are backed up in the courts and of these 2,232,000 are awaiting court decisions. 201,000 new cases have been reported and 334,000 cases have been closed in 2026 and 1079 have been granted relief. In 2025 about 600,000 have been deported and another 1.9 million have voluntarily self-deported. It is easier to control immigrants as they come in, rather than trying to work out ways to determine their cases once they are here. Properly vetting immigrants also limits the numbers of criminals entering the country. Once the process is under control, then immigrants can be selected based on age and skills, with people under age 30 who can speak English being given preference.
