Biden Admin Grants Work Permits to 714,700 Venezuelan Immigrants

Washington, DC...Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced the extension and redesignation of Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months, due to extraordinary and temporary conditions in Venezuela that prevent individuals from safely returning.





After reviewing the country conditions in Venezuela and consulting with interagency partners, Secretary Mayorkas determined that an 18-month TPS extension and redesignation are warranted based on Venezuela’s increased instability and lack of safety due to the enduring humanitarian, security, political, and environmental conditions. This redesignation provides temporary protection from removal, as well as employment authorization for individuals in the United States before July 31, 2023.

“Temporary protected status provides individuals already present in the United States with protection from removal when the conditions in their home country prevent their safe return,” said Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “That is the situation that Venezuelans who arrived here on or before July 31 of this year find themselves in. We are accordingly granting them the protection that the law provides. However, it is critical that Venezuelans understand that those who have arrived here after July 31, 2023 are not eligible for such protection, and instead will be removed when they are found to not have a legal basis to stay.”

Applicants for TPS under this redesignation must demonstrate that they are Venezuelan nationals (or individuals without nationality who last habitually resided in Venezuelan) who have been continuously residing in the United States since July 31, 2023 and meet other eligibility criteria.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will continue to process pending applications filed under the previous TPS designation for Venezuela. Individuals with a pending Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status, or a related Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, as of the date of the forthcoming Federal Register notice, do not need to file either application again. If USCIS approves a pending Form I-821 or Form I-765 filed under the previous designation of TPS for Venezuela, USCIS will grant the individual TPS and issue an EAD valid through the same date.

Under the redesignation of Venezuela, eligible individuals who do not have TPS may submit an  Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status, during the initial registration period which will be specified in a forthcoming Federal Register notice. Applicants also may apply for TPS-related EADs and for travel authorization. Applicants can request an EAD by submitting a completed Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, with their Form I-821, or separately later.

There are currently approximately 242,700 TPS beneficiaries under Venezuela’s existing TPS designation.  There are an additional approximately 472,000 nationals of Venezuela who may be eligible under the redesignation of Venezuela.

The forthcoming Federal Register notice will explain eligibility criteria, timelines, and procedures necessary for current beneficiaries to re-register and renew EADs, and for new applicants to submit an initial application under the redesignation and apply for an EAD.

          The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. Just what the Dems have always really wanted.

          Look at any totalitarian state. You have the wealthy and the poor. There is never a true middle class.

      Yeah well, that was then when America was empty land. Those immigrants had to be sponsored by a household (babysat) by someone. They also had to learn our ways, customs, laws and most importantly the English language.

      We are full and overflowing with those those poor, huddled masses, wretched refuse from everywhere flooding illegally in today. America is being destroyed by them now. California is trashed and crime ridden. No one feels or is safe!

      THEY TRULY ARE WRETCHED REFUSE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD!

      At its heart, the theory claims falsely that white people are being stripped of their power through the demographic rise of communities of color, driven by immigration. The lie has been integral to many of the most horrifying recent acts of white supremacist violence in the US.

      Far-right protesters at the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, which led to the killing of a woman, chanted “You will not replace us”. Replacement theory featured in the rants of mass shooters at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018 in which 11 people were murdered; a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, in which 23 were killed in 2019; and a synagogue in Poway, California, the same year in which one person died.

      What is the theory and how did it emerge?

      Replacement theory is a set of racist and antisemitic paranoid lies and delusions that has cropped up around the world in the past decade. In the US it is expressed as the false idea that an elite cabal of Jews and Democrats is “replacing” white Americans with Black, Hispanic and other people of color by encouraging immigration and interracial marriage – with the end goal being the eventual extinction of the white race.

        Has nothing to do with color! It has everything to do with downward pressure on wages of everyone. Pretty soon only ones who can get a "living" was will govt workers.

    White Americans and Black Americans won't do certain jobs.
    It's not replacement if nobody is doing the work other than Latinos. Just drive through agricultural areas and look at who is doing the manual labor. Brown skin individuals. Men, women, and children.

        We are full and overcrowded. The natural resources are beginning to be fought over. The crime and fighting is boiling up.

        People are now dividing into alike community more than ever before for safer, law abiding, clean living with like minded neighbors that have your back.

Welfare started in 1935, by a Democrat, most white trash types in the 50’s took total advantage of this decision! I just returned from Wal-Mart, there we’re countless white males, working age,running around the store, tats, piercings, I-Phones, you name it,and we are paying for these f’rs to not look for work, but get a check every month,go there on the 1st. Sand you will see all of these low life’s getting free stuff’ paid for by you and me, then we are being invaded on purpose, and we are paying for all of these people, ( criminals), and here we go, the working class pays for every bit of this s show, because the govt. has no one else to shake down for the money! Wake up people, America is doomed if this continues!

    FDR New Deal
    Posted on: 2023-09-21 15:48:51   By: Anonymous
     
    FDR with his new deal program ended the depression. Part of raising so many people in poverty, especially seniors, who were desperate.
    FDR started Social Security, not welfare, but a tax on wages, saved by the government for later payments thru the SS program. SS is your own wage you were paid saved to be paid later upon drawing SS now at 62 and later. It is not welfare.

    SS raised the poverty of seniors. All the social programs of FDR raised the living standards of millions.

    The Republicans were so affronted by the success of the social programs that they hated with a passion which continues today.

    The demands of the Republicans to raise the debt limit and fund the government under penalty of default is -

    #1 Cut SS
    #2 Cut Medicare
    #3 Cut Medicaid
    #4 Lower Taxes on the Wealthy.

    This is the Republican sociopathic demands of a party of, by, for the .001% .

    The GOP is anti working Americans. That is clear.

      I agree with a lot of what you say, but the New Deal did not end the Depression.
      World War II did.

            Republicans are the Environmentalists nightmare. Just ask Ron DeSANTIS. Wants to remove America from the Climate Accord. Give new off shore drilling permits to Big Oil. His Campaign DONORS. Roll back regulations on clean air and water. All at the expense of every American. That’s all younger people, their children. And people of the American future.
