President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will eliminate a loophole in the asylum system that gives out work permits to about 50,000 border crossers every year.
As part of a broader effort to reduce illegal and legal immigration while more than 30 million Americans are unemployed, DHS will issue a regulation that prevents border crossers from quickly obtaining work permits to take American jobs without securing asylum.
DHS Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli said more than 50,000 work permits are issued annually to border crossers who have not filed for asylum, had their asylum claims adjudicated, or who have committed crimes.
The regulation, Cuccinelli said, eliminates “the incentive to file asylum applications for the purpose of getting a work permit. … We’re closing a tremendous number of loopholes in that system.”
