Many of the issues you bring up are in the Tancredo bill... military enforcement of the border, increase in agents and officers, increase in detention facilities, employer provided health care, even the "anchor baby" problem.While it does not state that it eliminates EOIR, it does state:

`(2) subject to section 241(a)(8), may release the alien on bond of at least $10,000, with security approved by, and containing conditions prescribed by, the Secretary of Homeland Security, but the Secretary shall not release the alien on or to his own recognizance unless an order of an immigration judge expressly finds that the alien is not a flight risk and is not a threat to the United States

Ouch...not too many illegals could come up with that kind of bond making $2 an hour and I don't think any employer is gonna cover it either.

Not addressing EOIR could defeat the very verbiage you mention ... " unless an order of an immigration judge expressly finds that the alien is not a flight risk and is not a threat to the United States" What the EOIR and BIA are doing is taking the word of ACLU and immigrant-friendly lawyers and letting them undermine the law with loopholes. That verbiage above - that's a loophole... These judges would simply declare everyone in the system "not a flight risk" and presto - free on no bail. If you read the details, you would be shocked at how flagrantly these judges are violating the intent of the law. then again, maybe not, the ACLU is involved.
