New Rule - Aliens with Final Order of Removal
 

This does not effect DACA, but I wonder if this is what they were planning to do with DACA - ie: allow us to stay, but make it impossible to legally work

@ReichlinMelnick
New! The Trump administration's proposal to strip work permits from people that have been ordered removed but cannot be legally deported is out.

The explicit and stated purpose of the rule is to make those peoples' lives harder so they'll self-deport.

@ReichlinMelnick
Many people are ordered deported by an immigration judge but cannot BE deported. This is usually because their country of nationality will not take them.

For decades, these people have been able to get work permits, since they're not going anywhere. Now DHS wants to end that.

@ReichlinMelnick
Of course, it wouldn't be a Stephen Miller proposal unless DHS really twisted in the knife.

Under the new proposal, even those "very low" number of people who CAN get a work permit would be banned from renewing their work permit unless they worked for an employer using E-Verify!

@ReichlinMelnick
They would also limit the period of these work permits to one year only, meaning you'd have to be constantly renewing them (and with current backlogs in work permit authorization, be filing for a renewal around the same time as you got it).

@ReichlinMelnick
Bizarrely, in order to renew a work permit, you would need to show that you still had "economic necessity" to work, pegged to the federal poverty guideline.

To get the work permit, you need to show you have no money. And to renew it... you still need to show you have no money?

@ReichlinMelnick
DHS is also proposing that anyone who currently has one of these work permits would be subject to the new rules when they go to renew their work permit.

Considering that only a few hundred people each year would satisfy the first new requirement, that means most would be denied.

@ReichlinMelnick
Taken together, this new rule would make it so that only a few hundred people a year, if that, would ever be able to get work permits.

To the thousands of other people, DHS offers a choice: work illegally to support yourself and risk being sent back to detention, or self-deport.

I thought trump will be out soon so why is he still trying to destroy people's lives until his last few days. Im hoping this would not affect us!!!

Re: New Rule - Aliens with Final Order of Removal
 

Wow, they are making it harder for us to work. They needs us more than ever due to the this pandemic. We are helping them with taxes and revenues while their citizens apply for unemployment

Re: New Rule - Aliens with Final Order of Removal
 

He wants to make it harder for Biden I guess. He is firing people left and right. Soon the whole government administration will be understaffed

Re: New Rule - Aliens with Final Order of Removal
 

This fucking scumbag. I am so glad this fucker lost.

I will be paying $6000 in property taxes this year. But hey, we don't pay taxes.

Re: New Rule - Aliens with Final Order of Removal
 

Dude, don't spread that language. "Aliens"... we know better.

Re: New Rule - Aliens with Final Order of Removal
 

Too many with TPS, DACA are essential workers!!! They don't have status and do have final orders and given orders of supervision because they were put through the court system, not because they have so much as a parking ticket. Pass it on to the various orgs, this is an economic and humanitarian disaster in this pandemic.

Why are they doing this on the way out? This is cruel and needs to be stopped now.

Re: New Rule - Aliens with Final Order of Removal
 

He is trying his damnest not to leave. Truly disgusting and repugnant behavior from Trump and Republicans supporting him. Won’t even give Biden team access to info about COVID costing people’s lives. Firing people who aren’t his puppets left and right. He wants to burn everything before he leaves basically. They should make new laws about transitioning during Presidential elections because of the crap Trump is doing right now so it doesn’t happen in the future. God forbid we ever get such a thrashyPresident again.

jokes on them cause they would just stop paying taxes then and get paid under the table.
