The Department of Homeland Security says it will launch a "national campaign" to help work-eligible migrants get employment authorization, just as Democratic politicians are pushing for the administration to expand work permits to migrants.
DHS had sent a team of experts to assess the migrant operations in New York City, where officials have declared services to be overwhelmed by the approximately 100,000 migrants who have come to the "sanctuary" city since last year. The DHS team recommended improvements to migrant processes and additional locations where migrants could be housed.
The agency confirmed to Fox that is now launching a "first-of-its-kind national campaign for noncitizens who are work-eligible but have not yet applied for employment authorization."
Migrants who enter the U.S. illegally are typically not allowed to work. However, if they make an application for asylum, then they eventually become eligible to work after a number of months. Migrants who are paroled into the U.S. — such as via the CBP One app at a port of entry — may also apply for a work permit for the duration of their parole.
