The Biden administration is doing an end-run around the nation's immigration laws - by giving migrants work permits in record numbers.
Since President Biden took office, more than 3.3 million migrants have been given a Employment Authorization Document, commonly known as the federal work permit, even though many didn't even legally have the right to be America.
Not so long ago, the work permit rightly was considered an unwanted immigration "Pull factor" and a key to managing immigration flows.
In 1996, the Immigration and Naturalization Service introduced a new rule: Asylum seekers had to wait 180 days before applying for work.
In some cases, those receiving parole apply for asylum later, after already getting a work permit - nullifying the 180-day wait rule.
In 2022, 1.279 million work permits were handed out.
