(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demanded Joe Biden and his administration make it easier for leftist business owners to hire illegal immigrants who come into this country.
After Title 42 expired on Thursday night, Rep. AOC, D-N.Y., went on Twitter to demand the federal government make it easier for illegals to get a job.
“New Yorkers & small businesses have made clear that we are ready to employ our migrant neighbors,” she wrote.
“And our newly arrived NYers have stated clearly that they want to support themselves safely. Let’s get it done. We are asking the Federal gov to grant us work authorizations.”
Axios reported that AOC is leading a group of Democrats in New York that wants Biden to find ways to allow illegal aliens to access work permits faster.
This group of 13 lawmakers in the Democratic Party is asking Biden to use different immigration authorities to avoid rules that prevent illegals from getting work permits until they have been in the United States for around six months.
“Many asylum seekers want to work,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter. “We ask that your administration support the many states, cities and communities enthusiastically welcoming asylum seekers across this country.”
Even though Biden himself can’t change the 180-day rule, he could use parole to allow people to begin working within that window of time instead.
“Parole is a discretionary tool the government can use to allow people to enter the country, often for humanitarian reasons,” according to Axios.
The Post Millennial reported that the move comes after House Republicans passed a sweeping border security package just hours before Title 42 expired so that illegals would not be able to swarm the country completely. However, even though it passed the House, it is unlikely to pass in the Senate which is currently controlled by Democrats.
