Then agree to streamline cases, be kept together in a third country until asylum is proved or disproved, or agree to increasing the amount of judges to prevent the logjam.

Democrats routinely block measures which would help end the logjam causing the issue while complaining it happens.


I agree with increasing the amount of judges

They have increased the number of judges.

There were 290 immigration judges in September 2016, there are 424 as of April 2019.

The backlog problem - or rather the fact that it ballooned recently - is a problem of Trump's own doing. He rescinded Obama-era regulations that let judges set aside/suspend lower priority cases in order to handle the more complex asylum or criminal cases. Then Sessions went even further as AG and rescinded their authority to do so and are instructed to pursue every case, and Sessions's ruling applied to 330,000 cases that had been closed and forced them to reopen those cases. On top of all this, Trump terminating DACA has added cases that would have been under that umbrella to be added to the caselog.

Asylum seekers staying in a third country relies on agreements with that third country and that has been the issue there. IIRC a few of them have rejected such proposals, not sure what any of this has to with democrats tbqhhhhhhh
