Council leaders back Mayor Adams’ push to put migrants to work in NYC

[Gary Rich 261]

( I was thinking that if this happens it could made the process even longer for alot of people ) 

City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and Manhattan Councilwoman Gale Brewer are backing Mayor Eric Adams’ urgent request to get asylum seekers working — and say they’ll press Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand to get it done. 

Brewer penned a letter asking Schumer, Gillibrand and all the members of New York City’s congressional delegation to work their contacts at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to approve an emergency measure that would expedite processing times for employment authorization applications submitted by asylum seekers. 

If green-lit, the measure could permit an eligible portion of the roughly 10,000 migrants that have come to the Big Apple from the southern border to work.

“We write to urge your support in requesting that United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) expedite processing times for applications for employment authorization (Form I-765) for individuals seeking asylum,” writes Brewer, Speaker Adams and five other members of the City Council in the letter, which will be sent on Thursday. “Local nonprofit providers and community based organizations are reporting processing times of six to 12 months for these applications. There is a significant backlog of applications for employment authorization and the agency must clear it.”  https://nypost.com/2022/09/14/city-council-leaders-back-mayor-adams-push-to-put-migrants-to-work-in-nyc/

This, if it happens, could certainly create backlogs in other areas processed by USCIS.

What about all the ones in Texas? California? They don't get to be part that could apply?  Since this is state specific I don't see this ever happening.

Asylum seekers send form I-589 for one of four service centers depending on the state of their residence

Texas

California

Nebraska 

or Vermont

https://www.politicalasylumusa.com/resources/where-to-file-i-589/

 

so, yes it would impact those offices 

i would imagine a flood of I589 petitions would overwhelm 4 offices and normal paid for petitions would slow up or be sent to Potamic or elsewhere

 

As far as these council members and the Mayor trying to push a federal bureau to do anything,   will be about as slow as embassies doing the ds 5535

 

and understand this mayor is running for re-election and so many times this is publicity to show they are working hard for the city

If they really wanted to help,  they would be on site with the asylum seekers helping get them pro  bona attorneys to fill out and do the I 589 form

 

otherwise nothing there is going to happen and it will not happen slow

for anyone interested the following site lists every immigration judge and their asylum seeker decisions and denial 

looks like over 70% are denied by all of them

I suspect they stay in the USA regardless of the outcome

It would be interesting to understand how many of these decisions were made because the immigrant did not show up for their hearing.

Those decision are nowhere close to the number of poeple who have crossed looking for asylum.  Must be missing data or incomplete.

Probably backlogged more than likely.

those are % of cases that went to I J   

current estimates of illegals 

Studies have shown that 40 million foreign born residents live in the U.S. 11.7 million of that population is illegal.

many just work under the table with low income and don't apply for asylum

but my point is when busloads are sent into NYC and are able to apply, why don't the city planners ,  council and mayor help them with the I 589 

they pass the buck and tell immigration to do the work 

ICE can step in and house them in detention and prepare to deport (that's what happens) but the city still has a problem ,  it needs to be proactive 

and the mayor is just grand standing hoping to be re-elected

 

and will asylum seekers flood the system?  

they have already done it for years

Biden Opens a New Back Door on Immigration.

 

 

Amid a protracted stalemate in Congress over immigration, President Joe Biden has opened a back door to allow hundreds of thousands of new immigrants into the country, significantly expanding the use of humanitarian parole programs for people escaping war and political turmoil around the world.

The measures, introduced over the past year to offer refuge to people fleeing Ukraine, Haiti and Latin America, offer immigrants the opportunity to fly to the United States and quickly secure work authorization, provided they have a private sponsor to take responsibility for them.

As of mid-April, some 300,000 Ukrainians had arrived in the United States under various programs — a number greater than all the people from around the world admitted through the official U.S. refugee program in the last five years.

By the end of 2023, about 360,000 Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans and Haitians are expected to gain admission through a similar private sponsorship initiative introduced in January to stem unauthorized crossings at the southern border — more people than were issued immigrant visas from these countries in the last 15 years combined.

I have seen this quite often in coverage, it is untrue, there is the I 134 and I 134a but they are not enforceable. Also a starter job at my local Walmart would allow somebody to sponsor a family of 5.
