rallied with migrants Thursday to demand the Biden administration speed up the process of issuing them work permits, figuring the way to get them off the public dole is to find them jobs.
The White House promised a massive public relations push to try to get migrants interested in legal work., who led a pre-Labor Day rally with hundreds of activists saying the feds must “get on the field and fight this battle with us.”Work permits have emerged as the latest flashpoint in the deepening chaos of the U.S.
The work permit demand has been echoed in recent days by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, both Democrats. Ms. Hochul, in New York, said Mr. Mayorkas could grant the migrants a different status, known as temporary protected status, which would make them instantly eligible.In a statement, the White House said Homeland Security has studied the catch-and-release population and found even those who are already eligible aren’t applying. Nationally, just 16% of those who entered under a border “parole” program have requested permits.
