The US Department of Homeland Security has announced an interim rule to stop the automatic extension of Employment Authorisation Documents (EAD) of migrant workers, a move that is likely to impact thousands of foreign employees, including Indians who make up a large portion of the expat workforce.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Department said "Aliens who file to renew their EAD on or after Oct. 30, 2025 (Thursday), will no longer receive an automatic extension of their EAD." This means, EADs automatically extended before October 30 won't be affected.
With the new rule, there will be more "vetting and screening to protect public safety, national security," the Trump administration said.

The US government says the rule entails reviewing migrant workers' background more often, which it believes will enable US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to "deter fraud and detect aliens with potentially harmful intent."
Calling it a "common sense" measure, the USCIS Director, Joseph Edlow, said working in the US is a "privilege, not a right."

Good. There are plenty of Americans - even educated Americans out of work. Other than rare exceptions, we don’t need foreign labor to meet our needs.
Now how do we get the Dot-indians out of Texas
Like the 41.7m on SNAPand EBT cards.
Putting them to work would probably drop a few 100,000lbs of fat as well.
WTF?
Whoever authorized such a thing deserves to be shot as much as those who opened the border for the prior 4 years.
POS
You foul-mouthed moron.
The Indian troll back at it. Why is this topic so sensitive again?
My bad.
BTW - I didn't see your screen name on the donors list, deadbeat.

Senate aide paid $44,000 for taxpayer-funded “commute”
Sen. Roger Marshall’s chief of staff, Brent Robertson, has taken at least 26 trips to Washington from his home in central Virginia. A spokesperson for Sen. Roger Marshall, seen at a September Finance Committee hearing, said the arrangement is “in full accordance and approval of Senate ethics, rules, and guidelines.” | Francis Chung/POLITICO
The top aide to Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas charged $44,000 to taxpayers over the past two years in commuting expenses between Washington and Lynchburg, Virginia, where he lives, according to public records. The reimbursements paid to Brent Robertson are legal and comply with congressional rules governing expense reimbursements, according to experts who reviewed his arrangement, but they also said it was highly unusual and at odds with the intent behind those rules. Typically senior congressional aides are stationed either in Washington or their employer’s home state. Not so for Robertson, Marshall’s longtime chief of staff, who bought a home about 190 miles from Washington in March 2024.
Between April of that year and the following September, he took 11 trips labeled “Lynchburg VA to Washington DC and Return” and got $16,000 back in expenses from the government, according to Senate expense records. The expenses covered “incidentals,” “transportation” and a “per diem,” which is not usually taxed. Between October of last year and this past March, Robertson took 15 trips with the same label and got an additional $28,000 in expenses back. He secured a per diem payment of $10,000 for one trip to D.C. between Jan. 14 and Jan. 23, coinciding with the presidential inauguration.
Stanley Brand, an attorney who served as House general counsel under Speaker Tip O’Neill, said it appeared to be “a big, wide loophole” and said he had “never” heard of a similar arrangement. “What if everybody decided to do that, let their staff live far away from their location, and then just charge it off to the government?” Brand said after reviewing the arrangement at POLITICO’s request.
Robertson declined to comment. Neither Marshall’s office or other experts, including a Senate Democratic aide familiar with official reimbursements, could point to another case where a senior congressional staffer lived outside the Washington area or their employer’s home state and expensed travel costs in this way.

It turns temporary and periodic into permanent without the bother of representative legislation.
It’s hijacking.

Thank goodness it is being stopped.
It never should have started.
You are totally correct
