WuWei:

If they aren’t illegal, why is it illegal to hire them?

There is a difference between people waiting for their hearing and people who have not asked for asylum. A legal difference I mean.

WuWei:

No. I’m saying you don’t get to put people who hire them in prison for working them.

Where did I say we should throw them in jail?

Unless they need find shelter ahead of a storm evidently.

Charity is voluntary. Can you not understand that?

Yet you want immigration law to follow the good book…

Are people waiting for asylum hearings allowed to work?

When you jumped on the bandwagon.

What do you want to do to them?

When Can Asylum Applicants Get a Work Permit (EAD Card)?

Asylum applicants don't qualify for a work permit until their case is won or 180 days have passed with no decision by USCIS or the immigration court.

In order to apply for an EAD with a pending application, you will need to have been waiting 150 days or more with no initial decision on your application from the asylum office or from the immigration court. (The time period was changed to 365 days during the Trump Administration, but the Biden Administration has reversed that.)

I think it should be less.

A fine.

WuWei:

What? What are you talking about?

You don’t want people who hire undocumented workers to face repercussions because the good book tells us to treat foreigners as our own.

WuWei:

The Good Book tells us we are obligated to treat the foreigners among us as we treat our own.

WuWei · 2024-01-15T21:56:19.991Z

So no. Not without applying and with special permission.

Yeah, I knew that.

You know who can work? DACA.

Ah, so you want to break them and shut their businesses down. Now how many do we have not making a living?

Don’t put words in my mouth. If I wanted to break them and put them out of business, I would have said that.

What is your solution? You seem to want to let undocumented workers work, and you don’t want to penalize those that hire them.

So…what would you like to do?

Very plain. Perhaps if you meditate on it. You know, like a koan.

They will come even if there are no jobs.

simply not true.
