Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration has announced plans to grant work permits and protection orders to hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals who have illegally crossed the border into the United States.
Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced late Wednesday that over 700,000 illegal aliens already living in cities across America will qualify for the new protections.
The program will allow 242,700 illegal aliens from Venezuela to qualify for an existing temporary protection designation, DHS said.
An additional 472,000 Venezuelans are expected to qualify for the new designation to receive work permits and stay in the U.S. without fear of removal.
All Venezuelans who arrived before July 31 this year will qualify for the program.
During Wednesday’s announcement, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas blamed “the conditions in their home country” for the new rules.
Mayorkas said:
“Temporary protected status provides individuals already present in the United States with protection from removal when the conditions in their home country prevent their safe return.”
“That is the situation that Venezuelans who arrived here on or before July 31 of this year find themselves in.
“We are accordingly granting them the protection that the law provides.
“However, it is critical that Venezuelans understand that those who have arrived here after July 31, 2023, are not eligible for such protection, and instead will be removed when they are found to not have a legal basis to stay,” Mayorkas added.
According to federal data, Border Patrol recorded more than 1.6 million illegal crossings at the southern border between October 2022 and July 2023.
A record 2.2 million illegal crossings were made in fiscal year 2022.
Meanwhile, New York’s Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul asked the Biden administration for expedited work permits for illegals.
Hochul claims that permits are needed to help the state with the roughly 60,000 illegal aliens who are living off the taxpayer.
New York City’s Democrat Mayor Eric Adams recently issued a disturbing warning to his residents about the impact of Biden’s border crisis.
As Slay News reported, Adams warned that the flood of migrants into NYC “will destroy New York City.”
He warned the public that he sees no end in sight to Biden’s self-made crisis.
“I’m gonna tell you something, New Yorkers, never in my life have I had a problem that I didn’t see an ending to,” Adams said.
“I don’t see an ending to this.
“This issue will destroy New York City,” the mayor declared.
“One hundred ten thousand migrants we have to feed, clothe, house, educate the children, wash their laundry sheets, give them everything they need, health care.”
In Texas, Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas Jr., who serves roughly 28,000 residents along the southern border, issued an emergency declaration on Tuesday over the border crisis.
According to the announcement, Salinas declared an emergency after the arrival of a few thousand illegal border crossers.
For what jobs , the Biden Admin has destroyed millions of jobs
I don’t remember anybody voting for that crap.
Sound illegal. Again
It’s the Obama Crazies at the White House doing this crap
Good question; and I wonder how many will want to hire them. We know nothing at all about most of these people.
If they are not going to send them back let them work to provide for themselves.
Yes, some take the jobs away from mostly black people and young people because they’ll work cheaply.
But many thousands will accept long term welfare and entitlements and housing as they relax.
Old joke when mobs looted stores in “mostly peaceful protests”
“Everything was stolen from the stores except for work boots.”
Plus “To hide something valuable place it under a pile of job applications.”
This is our big opportunity. Boycott any businesses who hire these freeloaders. We need to start our own cancel culture and scare the piss out of the “woke” CEOs from the right side of America.
Most foolish short sighted post in years....
Why would they want to work legally when they can keep getting all that government handouts while working under the table?
We cheapen labor by this and as wages go down the chances of Communism go up. They are inversely proporptional.
So they just keep coming and keep coming and sitting on their butts getting your tax dollars?
Republicans will do nothing to stop this.
They are here to stay.
What’s your realistic solution?
A big FU to Americans from the wealth sovereigns running our nation.
Yet another reason they should be prohibited from government and politics.
The Democrats HATE America!
They are destroying the nuclear family, public education, energy independence, our economy, our borders, Freedom of Speech (including the press and social media), the Right to Self-Defense, the Legal System, our medical establishment, etc.... AND will Prosecute anybody willing to notice!!!
BY Christmas——SEE how many American kids are sick after being exposed to illegal invader kids who have NEVER been vaccinated for ANYTHING.
TB & other diseases will be out of control.
Better then letting them take al the low end jobs.
Republicans will do nothing to stop this.
Why we need Trump.
They are here to stay.
BS. The went to far this time. The USA WILL Deport.
What’s your realistic solution?
We should deport the illegals to Ukraine, I would rather have them fight for Zelinski than American sons and daughters.
Let’s say you have a business that deals all day with the public:
SO ANY OF THEM HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER???
WE KNOW they CAN NOT fill out am I-9 form————
ARE FREE OF ANY CRIMINAL BACKGROUND?????
Do these illegal INVADERS SPEAK ENGLISH???
READ ENGLISH???

HAVE DECENT GROOMING HABITS FOR PUBLIC SERVICE????
KNOW HOW TO MAKE CHANGE WITH USA MONEY???
KNOW HOW TO HANDLE A CREDIT CARD SALE???
KNOW HOW TO RUN A CASH REGISTER???

HAVE A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH TO BE EXPOSED TO OTHERS??????
ALL/ANY of these items would make me refuse to hire them.
ARE ANY PERSONS HERE ON FR EAGER TO HIRE THEM?????
Trying times indeed. I think we have ample enough reason to be out protesting in the streets like the French do. I think the reason we don’t is because we know we DONT live in the land of the free and the home of the brave with free speech and rights anymore and that the government will just run us right over if we dare to object. What a sad State of affairs.
