White House, state, city team up for pilot program to help migrants apply for work permits {Chicago}

WASHINGTON – One of the key needs of newly arrived migrants flooding Chicago and living in shelters — in the U.S. legally — is getting work permits so they can join the workforce, make money and find a place to live.

A Biden administration pilot program, kicking off Thursday in Chicago, is designed to help new arrivals in shelters overwhelming the city apply for their work authorizations.

The pilot program is a joint effort of the White House, Illinois, City Hall and the Resurrection Project, a social service agency that provides legal services for migrants.

It comes as local, state and federal officials in Illinois — and potential employers — have been pushing President Joe Biden to speed up the granting of work permits to take some of the crushing financial burden off the city and the state, and fill a large number of job vacancies.

The time involved in getting a work permit depends on what status was granted to a migrant in the U.S.

But no work authorization — no matter how long it takes to get, whether 30 days or six months — can be granted if a person does not apply.

So it's official. The Great Replacement is now official (at least in Chicago), and very definitely is not just for White people (unlike in Europe).

So to make sure I understand this.

A bunch of folks arrive...speaking no English. In fact, the language division...goes to African dialects, Portuguese (Brazilians), Spanish, Chinese, etc. Even if papers are filled out....it might a full year or more before the ‘new’ guy speaks decent English.

Then you tell me that 75-percent of the crowd have no real skill that is marketable except running a fruit cart, gutting fish, or washing hubcaps.

Then you tell me that there are 50,000 jobs just in the Chicago area....waiting for the ‘new’ guys?

Then you tell me that these jobs are reserved for the ‘new’ guys....not for American citizen blacks or Hispanics?

Did I miss anything?

These are NOT “migrants”. They are criminal trespassers who need to be forcibly thrown out of the USA.

They are retroactively “legal” because the administration says so. BS, but the damage is done now.
