(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) The Department of Homeland Security launched a national work program for illegal aliens crossing into the United States seeking jobs as the labor force participation rate of Americans keeps falling.
The program will ensure that illegals become eligible for work permits—and American jobs, by extension, according to Breitbart.
“Hundreds of thousands of email and text notifications have been sent by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole, with additional notifications in Ukrainian and Russian planned in the coming days,” the DHS wrote in a press release. “These notifications are the start of a government-wide effort to integrate newly arrived noncitizens into the American workforce.”
USCIS planned to distribute flyers to migrants, informing them of the new process and providing them with instant access to the application via a QR code.
The department said it worked with migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Ukraine to remind them of their ability to get work permits.
Immigration experts estimate that of the 7 million illegals that have been encountered during the Biden administration, roughly 3 million have been released into the nation’s interior, according to a recent op-ed in the New York Post by Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
However, those numbers further fail to account for the more than 1.5 million “gotaways” who were never encountered at the border as of a May estimate from DHS, which likely downplayed its own failure.
Even as inflationary spending has continued to drive up prices on goods and services, a flooded labor market is likely to diminish both job opportunities and wages for American citizens—particularly to unskilled, blue-collar laborers who are already most susceptible to the brutal impacts of the Biden economy.
The open border has likewise created another problem for the Biden administration: a rapid rise in homelessness.
New York City, Boston and other sanctuary cities opened up hotels and paid residents to open up their homes. But they now fear that the unsustainable immigration critis could “destroy them,” as New York City Mayor Eric Adams noted recently.
Similar things are happening in Chicago, where immigrants at one major shelter have been “loitering, engaging in late-night partying, prostitution, littering, and even fighting with community members,” according to a Fox News report.
The safety risk goes beyond residents of big cities and into the country’s more rural areas, where fentanyl has become a pressing issue.
Border Patrol officers seized 445 pounds of fentanyl per month in 2020—a number that skyrocketed to 1,175 pounds per month in 2022. On average, 292 Americans die every day from drug overdoses—much of that from fentanyl.
