Lay Judges for a Lawless Crisis: How Trump Could Clear Biden's Immigration Backlog

America has a problem that lawyers cannot fix - @amuse

The United States immigration court system, tasked with deciding who may lawfully remain in the country, has collapsed under the weight of an unprecedented backlog...

Each judge currently juggles nearly 5,000 cases, a workload that renders justice not delayed but defeated. 

• To resolve this, President Trump should authorize Attorney General Pam Bondi to establish a temporary corps of immigration judges who are not lawyers. Trained, qualified, and fully empowered, these non-attorney adjudicators would hold remote hearings, issue binding rulings, and restore order to a system buckling under the weight of Biden's border collapse.

Critics will howl that only lawyers can serve as judges. 

But this is a category error, not a constitutional constraint. 

Immigration courts are administrative tribunals, not Article III courts...
