NYC immigration court backlog so flooded migrants could wait for up to a decade
NY Post ^ | May 27, 2023 | By Jacob Geanous

Massive and ever-growing backlogs in NYC immigration courts mean migrants who want to become US citizens have to wait about three years to have their cases heard — and up to a decade to complete the entire process.

At least 127,000 pending cases were mired in court at the start of the month and that number is expected to exponentially grow as the one-year deadline to file for asylum approaches for the more than 70,000 migrants who have arrived in New York City in recent months.

The backlog is fueled by New York’s sanctuary city status — and asylum applicants seek out the Big Apple because judges here are immigrant-friendly than anywhere else besides Puerto Rico and Honolulu, data shows.

NYC jurists approved asylum in 69% of all cases over the last two decades, and over a dozen judges ruled in favor of migrants in at least 80% of their cases in the last five years, according to data compiled by Syracuse University.

“Because there’s such high approval rates in New York, people are coming here just to get their cases here,” immigration lawyer Gadi Zohar told The Post. “You really need an address here and a little bit of proof that you live here.”

Close. Cloward - Piven.

It's at full throttle, going down a steep grade, with a cliff at the end.

This will not end well.

And our rock ribbed "Conservative", Republican congresscritters are doing nothing to stop it.

I believe the Demoncrats ... I mean Democrats plans all along have been to overwhelm the states with illegals until law and order breaks down and they have to send in the US Military or maybe ask the UN to come in and restore law and order. I wouldn’t count on 2024 elections happening.

No Worries. They are living large near Times Square. A recent article points out the 'benefits' to illegal trespassers.

"migrants are given hotel rooms that come with free benefits, such as Uber services, healthcare, free car seats and cribs for children, laundry services, housekeeping, metro cards for the subway, and three meals a day."

Approximately 5,000 'migrants' (illegal trespassers & invaders) are living large. Covid, smallpox, polio, spies, terrorists, who knows?

Obama / Biden Regime houses invaders near Times Square

People in other areas cannot imagine the amount of used takeout food containers that are being dropped just where people get tired of holding them.

One person actually claimed he was leaving the rest of the food for someone else.

As if they are anxiously waiting while they are given free housing, food, EBT cards, phone, plane tickets to anywhere they want to go.

This crap started with Slick and Algore campaigning in sport coats and open neck shirts, photo ops of the pair doing “volunteer” work wearing checkered flannel shirts, jogging in grungy tees and shorts . . . just a couple of regular guys “doing a job”.

Meanwhile all of you will be given free housing, food, clothing, medical and surgical care, free legal services, free transportation, cell phones with paid plans and police protection from angry neighbors.

We apologize for the long wait ahead.

A woman on a show today said these people are used to living in countries unlike the US, where you expect to fight hard to get what you want. So if they get funding cuts and face rejection here, they will start physically fighting the American neighbors near them.

Actually that sounds like BLM and Antifa.

No big deal, only about 1% of them will ever show up anyway.
It’s all a big scam by an illegitimate regime full of looters and anti American asswipes.

And they get to leapfrog over all the legitimate, paid up immigrants waiting their turns in other countries.
