Read our commentary piece in Reuters about how Trump’s deportation promises could help fix the broken system in the U.S. with the hiring of more immigration judges:
Commentary: How Trump’s immigration plan could help those he wants to deport
“For those who disagree with Trump’s hard-line approach to immigration, this staffing shortfall offers a slight silver lining in his promises to deport millions. Many of his supporters will hold him accountable to that pledge, and he will have to show a genuine attempt to do something about immigration. One step could be to hire more immigration judges… Even though he has said he’ll enact a hiring freeze on all federal positions, he would have to make an exception for immigration judges if he wants to follow through with one of his most polarizing promises. In doing so, he might inadvertently take steps to clean up the broken immigration system that the United States currently has in place. And immigrants – the very people he wants to deport – might benefit.”
