Isn't the real issue with illegal immigration/asylum claims the fact that we cannot process them timely and/or too many people are falsely claiming asylum?
Post Body

Biden issued an Executive Order which the ACLU will sue over, like it did with Trump's. They're suing based on the overbroad use of INA § Section 212(f) which is said to violate INA § 208 which is:

Any alien who is present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not in a designated port of arrival […]) irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum

But isn't the issue that anyone who arrives is claiming asylum and given the backlog of 2 million (as of when this was written in April) , they're basically free to live in the United States until their claim could be reviewed? And, per this Fact Check stating the actual acceptance rate in one particular year is 32%... that means a lot of people are living in the US who shouldn't be. I can't find a source of false claims (likely impossible but please prove me wrong!) but even if its 10% of that 68% denial, that's still 136k people. And that's just based on the 2M number, other numbers are much higher.

Wouldn't it be better to find some way to do a fast-track review? I mean, coordination of what to say to not get rejected would be an issue, but are we just arguing over the wrong portions of the issue?
