Immigration policy is primarily a federal responsibility. Congress sets visa quotas, asylum rules, enforcement priorities, and pathways to citizenship. The President directs enforcement through executive orders and agency policy. The immigration court system has a massive backlog of over 3 million pending cases. Major reform efforts have stalled for decades due to disagreements over the balance between enforcement and legal pathways.
