By immigrationprof

ABC News has a story entitled “What’s Clogging the Courts? Ask America’s Busiest Judge Immigration Cases in 5 Border Districts Make Up 75 Percent of Country’s Felony Cases.”  Accoring to the story, “Judge Robert Brack is the busiest federal judge in the United States. From his bench in the bordertown of Las Cruces, N.M., Brack expects to hear between 1,000 and 1,200 cases this year, more than twice the average number tried by district court judges.”  And the bulk of those cases?  Illegal re-entry into the United States, an immigrtaion crime.
