During his first days in office, President-elect Joe Biden plans to send a groundbreaking legislative package to Congress to address the long-elusive goal of immigration reform, including what’s certain to be a controversial centerpiece: a pathway to citizenship for an estimated 11 million immigrants who are in the country without legal status, according to immigrant rights activists in communication with the Biden-Harris transition team.
The bill also would provide a shorter pathway to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of people with temporary protected status and beneficiaries of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals who were brought to the U.S. as children, and probably also for certain front-line essential workers, vast numbers of whom are immigrants.

DACA changed a generation of California immigrants. These are some of their stories
In a significant departure from many previous immigration bills passed under both Democratic and Republican administrations, the proposed legislation would not contain any provisions directly linking an expansion of immigration with stepped-up enforcement and security measures, said Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center Immigrant Justice Fund, who has been consulted on the proposal by Biden staffers.

This will present Judge Garland and Vanita Gupta @ DOJ with a timely, outstanding opportunity to get rid of the “EOIR Clown Show🤡,” replace it with a functioning expert judiciary 🧑🏽⚖️👨🏻⚖️⚖️ and competent judicial administrators, get the vast bulk of these cases off the largely “manufactured” backlog, and get the Immigration Courts and the BIA operating at or near “real time.”
That, in turn will give a new group of expert judges at the BIA, with practical asylum and human rights backgrounds, a chance to implement the fair, generous, consistent interpretation of asylum law intended under the Refugee Act of 1980 and to institute a fair and efficient U.S. asylum system that will serve humanity, honor and exemplify Constitutional due process, and advance our national interests.🗽🇺🇸
Should be a win-win-win for the country and refugees provided that the right, progressive, “steeped in due process and fundamental fairness” judicial talent is put in place to lead and direct the “new EOIR.” No more “Clown Show!” 🤡No more “Amateur Night at the Bijou!” 🤹 Time to give the immigration and human rights experts, a new generation of “practical scholars,” the chance to solve problems and lead the now-broken Immigration Courts to better days!
Not surprisingly, the current “Clown Show” 🤡 and “band of malicious incompetents”🦹🏿♂️ @ EOIR “management” are totally out of step — and actually mocking — the direction the Biden Administration is taking on immigration and asylum, even as their time runs out. At a minimum, that warrants immediate reassignment to jobs where they can do no further damage to the American justice system and those who rely upon it. For some who have actually aided and abetted the “human rights criminals” in the DOJ kakistocracy and squandered public resources on illegal gimmicks, further action and accountability could be necessary and appropriate down the line!
Due Process Forever!
