Scoop: Migrant backlog to hit 8 million under Biden by October, data reveal
More than 8 million asylum seekers and other migrants will be living inside the U.S in legal limbo by the end of September — a roughly 167% increase in five years, according to internal government projections obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: That's up from about 3 million in 2019 — a sign of how the underfunded and outdated U.S. immigration system can't keep up with the rapidly growing migrant population driven by new border surges.
The backlog has left millions of people living in uncertainty about whether they'll be allowed to stay in the U.S. — or facing deportation — often for years.

"So why hasn't The Biden Admin increased the Immigration Judges??????"
Simple.
Because immigration judges cost money, and Donald Trump directed his stooges in Congress to kill the bipartisan funding bill last month that would have provided the money to hire another 100 judges.

In its first two years, the Biden administration has deported migrants at a higher rate than Trump.
While the data shows that the Biden administration deported a higher percentage of undocumented migrants than the Trump administration, factors such as Title 42 pandemic restrictions skew the data.
