Louis Desipio, a political science professor at UC Irvine who specializes in immigration,
said it’s likely that senior civil servants anticipated the problem, but lacked authority

Desipio told PolitiFact June 27. "I haven't seen any evidence that they have improved
the system in the past week or so."
