I think it is fairly stated that we do not have amnesty. One line which we have not yet finished is the issue of judicial reform. judicial review. We need to have more in the way of immigration judgesbetter trained. better qualifiedto handle the tough jobs which they have. Then. we have an appellate line. the Board of Immigration Appeals. where the number has been cut from 23 to 11. and they are filing onepage opinions. which puts an enormous burden on judicial review in the circuit courts. Our bill will return that number to 23. We will call upon the Board of Immigration Appeals to write opinions so the circuit court will know what their reasons are. to take a burden from the circuit court of being required to start from ground zero to figure out what is going on in a case. The chairmans mark has a provision that will consolidate appeals in the Federal circuit. We have had a good bit of objection to that from the Judicial Conference and from very prominent judges.
