The Biden administration is doing an end-run around the nation’s immigration laws — by giving migrants work permits in record numbers.
Since President Biden took office, more than 3.3 million migrants have been given a Employment Authorization Document (EAD), commonly known as the federal work permit, even though many didn’t even legally have the right to be America.
And as of February of this year, pending EAD applications stood at an another 1.4 million.
In many cases, migrants are given the right to work before they are even given asylum, a green card or other legal documentation that allows them to stay.
Not so long ago, the work permit rightly was considered an unwanted immigration “pull factor” and a key to managing immigration flows.
In 1996, the Immigration and Naturalization Service introduced a new rule: Asylum seekers had to wait 180 days before applying for work.
Asylum is meant for people fleeing legitimate claims of persecution, and aren’t just looking for better jobs.
Reviewing the previous year’s immigration statistics, then Immigration Commissioner Doris Meissner announced that new rules removing this “primary incentive” resulted in asylum claims dropping from 122,589 in 1994 to 53,255 in 1995.

More laws won’t solve these problems until the current ones are enforced. The GOP doesn’t care, they just want more labor, dems more voters. The cancer of illegal immigration will not be cured until businesses and peoples who hire and use illegals are thrown in jail.
btt
Work permits:
Pimping, Human Trafficking, Drug Dealing, Store Looting, Random Violence. Those are all very lucrative fields of employment, but I didn’t know you needed a work permit to engage in them.

LOL. Didn’t occur to me.
Apropos.
