Venezuelans seeking asylum in the US who are already living in the country will be allowed to work legally under new rules announced by the Biden administration.
About 472,000 people will be eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for a period of 18 months.
It follows calls by Democrats to expand work access for newly-arrived migrants.
US cities have been grappling with large numbers fleeing economic and political turmoil in Venezuela.
People must have been living in the US on or before 31 July to be eligible for temporary deportation relief and access to work permits under TPS. If granted, they will be allowed to work while they wait for an asylum determination to be made.
NYC specifically wants migrants to be able to work so they can support themselves. Yet you seem to think this is a bad idea.
Lol
Its encouraging more illegals, when they cant handle the ones they have.
The only problem is that these immigrants couldn’t work to support themselves. This solves that problem.
Your problem is that you’re a racist xenophobe. As I said, that’s your problem.
Well yeah, by definition illegals can’t work legally.
And what race are illegals? I swear, for people who constantly claim racism, y’all don’t know what racism is.
Undocumented persons can’t work legally. You’re the only one claiming that they’re illegal because of your racist and xenophobic attitudes. And that’s pretty rich for you to claim others are racist just for pointing out your racism and xenophobia.
Im stating a fact that “undocumented persons” immigrated illegally and by definition, are illegals. I know its slang, but Im not typing out “illegal immigrants” everytime.
Posing your assumptions, as fact, is pretty ridiculous on its face. You’re just trying to justify your racism and xenophobia by making things up and calling them facts.
The truth is you can’t possibly know each person‘s arrival story in this country. You’re just trying to make your racism and xenophobia sound justified which it’s not.
“people”. The word you’re looking for is “people” not “illegals”.
Already, “people who illegally immigrated, are criminals, are entitled assholes, and should be deported”. But I repeat myself, and “illegals” gets the point across.
I’m impressed you can call them “entitled assholes” without any sense of irony.
But you don’t know that they immigrated illegally. All that you can say is that they’re undocumented immigrants. It’s your racist, xenophobia that assumes that they immigrated illegally.
