A huge ‘no’ for work permit will receive the asylum seekers in the US, as the government of his government considers Donald Trumpaccording to CBS News.
The Trump government is dealing with one Regulation that will prevent most asylum seekers from receiving work permitpossibly overturning the long-term US immigration policy- as reports from the US Department of Security said in the US media.
A proposal of US naturalization and immigration officials It would be equivalent to an indefinite cessation of the US government’s ten -year policy that allows immigrants with pending asylum applications to work legally in the country while pending the decision on their case, Officials of the Ministry of Interior said.
The proposed changes, come to add to the already hard -core government immigration policy, targeting an asylum system with huge delay, Which, according to his leading advisers, are systematically exploiting economic immigrants.
However, the interruption of work licenses to asylum seekers It is expected to raise severe concern in the migrants’ ranks as it will be almost impossible to survive- it will lead them to illegal work.
Since the 1990s, immigration officials have granted work licenses to asylum seekers if their cases have been pending for at least 180 days. In general, this allows asylum seekers to apply for a work permit 150 days after submitting their application. Those who qualify can obtain permission after another 30 days.
However, the Trump government is currently considering a regulation that It will suspend the issuance of new work licenses to asylum seekers until the USCIS decides on all asylum applications within 180 days on average.
This time frame would be extremely difficult to adhere to in the near future, given the enormous accumulation of cases and functional constraints. Last year, for example, a federal government auditor found that more than 77% of asylum applications submitted to the USCIS remained pending for more than 180 days. Almost 40% of applications remained unresolved after two years.
Even if the average processing of 180 days is reached, the proposal will require asylum seekers to wait one year after submitting their application – instead of six months – to be eligible for a work permit, according to DHS officials.
According to the medium, it is not clear when this Regulation will be announced, nor whether it will be amended before it is finalized.
