Trump to Stop Fast-Tracking Work Permits for Migrants to Take U.S. Jobs

President Trump will tighten rules for a federal parole program that has allowed thousands of foreign nationals, who would otherwise be deemed inadmissible to the United States, to take jobs in the U.S.

An order issued this week by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) gives guidance to federal adjudicators to only consider providing foreign nationals who are paroled into the country with work permits after “all relevant factors” are considered “on a case-by-case basis.”

“USCIS will only consider employment authorization for parolees when, based on the facts and circumstances of each individual case, USCIS finds that a favorable exercise of discretion is warranted,” USCIS officials wrote in a release.

The rule is set to slow down the ongoing fast-tracking of work permits for foreign nationals arriving in the U.S. — allowing thousands of migrants to take U.S. jobs while they await court hearings.
