The Biden administration is creating a new process aimed at cutting the time it takes to decide the fates of newly arrived migrants in immigration courts from years to roughly six months
at a time when immigration is increasingly a concern among voters. Under the initiative announced Thursday, single adult migrants who've just entered the country and are going to five specific cities would have their cases overseen by a select group of judges with the aim of having them decided within 180 days. That would mark a vastly quicker turnaround time than most cases in the country's overburdened immigration system, which can average four years from beginning to end.
Detractors say this essentially serves as an impetus for migrants to come because they know they'll be able to stay in America and often work while they're here. The longer they're in the U.S. and have established families or community ties, the more opposition there is to eventually sending them back to their home country.
