South Carolina Republicans Seek Professional Licenses for Biden’s Migrants:
Republicans in South Carolina are working with Democrats on legislation that would allow thousands of border crossers released into the United States by President Joe Biden’s administration to secure professional licenses to take white-collar jobs.
Republican State Reps. Neal Collins, Bill Herbkersman, Micah Caskey IV, Jason Elliott, Cal Forrest Jr., Jerry Carter, and R. Raye Felder are sponsoring the legislation, which would open professional licenses to border crossers who have been awarded work permits by the Biden administration after having arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border.
A number of Democrats are also sponsoring the legislation.
“A person who has a current and valid employment authorization approved by federal immigration authorities shall be eligible for occupational or professional licensure under the provisions of this title provided all other applicable requirements are met,” the legislation reads.
The legislation’s impact is more significant than ever as it would coincide with the Biden administration’s years-long implementation of an expansive Catch and Release network that includes a parole pipeline.
That pipeline has helped at least 1.7 million border crossers make their way to American communities — with hundreds of thousands securing work permits in the process — while awaiting asylum and immigration hearings.
FWD.us, billionaire Mark Zuckerberg’s mass migration lobbying group, is a major proponent of such legislation across states as they seek to grow the U.S. workforce, to the benefit of their backers, with as much immigration as possible. ---->READ MORE HERE
South Carolina Bill Would Grant Professional Licenses for Immigrants:
A bill that’s been introduced in the South Carolina general assembly would allow immigrants who have valid employment authorization to obtain occupational and professional licenses.
The bill was introduced by both Democratic and Republican lawmakers in the South Carolina legislature. It states: “A person who has a current and valid employment authorization approved by federal immigration authorities shall be eligible for occupational or professional licensure under the provisions of this title provided all other applicable requirements are met.”
The proposed legislation was co-sponsored by 25 lawmakers including Republicolo Reps. Neal Collins, Bill Herbkersman, Micah Caskey IV, Jason Elliott, Cal Forrest Jr., Jerry Carter, and R. Raye Felder.
The state lawmakers proposed the legislation just days after President Joe Biden announced a parole program that would allow up to 30,000 people from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Haiti into the United States every month and receive authorization to work for up to two years at a time.
In addition to Biden’s parole program, illegal immigrants are able to obtain an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) in the United States through the asylum process after 180 days. This time includes 150 days after filing an asylum application plus a pending period of at least another 30 days.
The waiting period was increased to 365 days during Donald Trump’s presidency, but the Biden administration reduced it back to 180 days. The existing backlog of asylum applications means pending applicants may be living and working in the United States for years before their asylum claim is either approved or rejected. The asylum backlog has grown to historic levels under the Biden administration.
In a June 2022 article for The Federalist, editor John Daniel Davidson wrote that because illegal immigrants with pending asylum cases can get work permits in the United States, the existing backlog means that they can work and establish themselves in the United States for several years, even if their asylum claim stands no chance of approval once it’s adjudicated. ---->READ MORE HERE
