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.
“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.
