The Biden government has issued over 3.3 million asylum seekers with Employment Authorization Documents (EAD), commonly known as federal work permits, despite many recipients having no legal right to reside in the U.S. The scheme has even been used to allow some non-citizens to become police officers in states such as California and Illinois.
Traditionally, asylum is intended for people fleeing persecution, not economic migrants seeking better employment opportunities. To reduce fraudulent asylum claims, the U.S. historically required asylum seekers to wait 180 days before applying for work permits. However, the Biden regime has modified this waiting period rule through over 530 immigration-related executive actions, expanding admissions and creating new pathways under various programs.
