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.
False.
Consider: I fly to a country as an intended tourist.
I approach the customs official and say “I’d like to enter as a tourist”
They look at my paperwork, and approve my visa. I’m now legal. Prior to that I wasn’t illegal, I just wasn’t in yet
Okay, sure, but they were already in the country.

Literally the definition of undocumented immigrant is illegal immigrant. Its an euphemism, that only exists for propaganda purposes.
Childish arguments and redefining phrases just to rationalize your own racism and xenophobia clearly isn’t working here because we are not racist xenophobes who are gonna let you get away with that kind of shenanigans
Give it up.
