‘Huge issue’: US immigration system needs ‘complete overhaul’

Howard University Assistant Professor Dr Niambi Carter says immigration in the United States is a “huge issue” as the country experiences record high border crossings.

US Customs and Border Protection data has revealed the largest number of southern border crossings in the past year since at least 1960.

“The United States is going to have to come up with a more efficient system,” Dr Carter said.

“For multiple administrations, the border patrol office has been understaffed, the immigration courts have been undermanned.

“That has lengthened the time to hear people’s claims for asylum … it’s a mess.

“This system needs a complete overhaul.”
