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.
And Im not Trump nor am I voting for Trump.
This is Bidens admin, not Trump.
My point is the people screaming the loudest about illegal immigration directly profit from it and gas people against it. They literally roll in the money and donate it to the same folks on nightly news talking about the border crisis. If there already in the U.S working to generate wealth for other people, like the rest of us, why can't they be made citizens to have the same rights as the rest of us?
That doesn't even make sense. Why would they advocate against something they profit from?
Do you even read what you write?
In NYC, 60k out of 113k are in the cities care. Those 60k arent exactly helping. https://www.fox5ny.com/news/nyc-migrant-crisis-hochul-says-she-had-productive-talk-with-biden
Why would you advocate against something you could profit from?
Because you’re a racist and a xenophobe.
The whole reason that they’re in the cities care is because they can’t work. This solves that problem by allowing them to work. What part of that do you not get?
PS: and posting a link to a FOX news source only makes you look worse.
Yes, it makes perfect sense. In the words of Juicy J "people do strange things for that change, yeah money will do". Fear is powerful, they say what needs to be said to remain in power. Hell grandma Boebert is on stage yelling about being squeaky clean, but having the full service 15 year old theater experience in Beetlejuice. Then flat out lied about it despite being on tape.
If you have a full workforce of people that can't strike, labor laws don't apply, they can't tell anyone about sexual assaults, injuries, do you think the politicians who are getting cash care? Do you think those kids getting busted working in factories were america kids or undocumented kids?
So why are you arguing for more illegals?
They're not. They're arguing for making them legal, which then allows them to work and prevents the possible below the table abuse.
I'm arguing for people not to be exploited.
Then the solution is deportation, all this does is encourage more illegals hoping the dnc will legalize them, while being exploited in the meantime.
Only if you’re racist and xenophobic. The clear solution to the problem they pose here is to enable them to work and support themselves, alleviating the strain on our systems and to contribute as taxpayers.
Yeah basically
This conversation is like taking a piss into really high winds.
