"The backlog of cases clogging up the U.S. court system has soared to more than 3 million across the country in the past year, with some 458,630 in Texas alone. The numbers have seen a significant jump since 2012, when just 40,051 immigration cases were pending in the state.
It is likely to provide little more than cold comfort for Texans to learn that the backlog is even higher in Florida. The Sunshine State has 481,376 cases outstanding, a huge spike compared to 2012 when just 17,645 cases were pending, according to the data.
The stark numbers mean that Florida is dealing with the biggest backlog in the U.S., with Texas coming in second place in a race no one wants to win. The other three states making up the top five regions in terms of pending immigration applications are California (348,138 cases), New York (344,505) and Illinois (211,096)."
