@AaronPound @rbreich A quote from a 2019 marketwatch article. the numbers have grown significantly. "With the current backlog of more than 900,000 cases in immigration court, applicants usually wait years to have a hearing — with an average wait of 713 days. In the meantime, after 180 days, an asylum applicant is allowed to receive permission to work in the United States.Being allowed to jump the line and have legal employment is a big incentive, and that’s driving abuse of the asylum system"
