US offers almost 500,000 Venezuelans legal status
bbc.com
Venezuelans seeking asylum in the US who are already living in the country will be allowed to work legally under new rules announced by the Biden administration.
About 472,000 people will be eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for a period of 18 months.
It follows calls by Democrats to expand work access for newly-arrived migrants.
US cities have been grappling with large numbers fleeing economic and political turmoil in Venezuela.
People must have been living in the US on or before 31 July to be eligible for temporary deportation relief and access to work permits under TPS. If granted, they will be allowed to work while they wait for an asylum determination to be made.

So why are you arguing for more illegals?
They're not. They're arguing for making them legal, which then allows them to work and prevents the possible below the table abuse.
I'm arguing for people not to be exploited.
Then the solution is deportation, all this does is encourage more illegals hoping the dnc will legalize them, while being exploited in the meantime.
Only if you’re racist and xenophobic. The clear solution to the problem they pose here is to enable them to work and support themselves, alleviating the strain on our systems and to contribute as taxpayers.
Yeah basically
This conversation is like taking a piss into really high winds.
