Persons who claim asylum can file for a legal work permit 150 days after filing for asylum until their case is adjudicated. Given the backlogs that currently means for years. And of course any children they have in that time are citizens. There are NGOs that help immigrants learn of these rights and exercise them. Amazon themselves even have a program to do so[1].

- Geisterde 3y agoYou are right, immigration policy has no bearing in the dramatic rise in asylum requests and how they are honored. If someone from mexico comes to the american border and requests political asylum that makes sense, why are people crossing several countries to come here? Thats not asylum, asylum is escaping a hostile regime.
