Biden Administration’s CBP One App Provides Immediate Work Authorization for Migrants

LISTEN HERE:

The CBP One phone application, introduced by the Biden administration, provides immediate access for migrants to apply for work authorization, allowing them to bypass the usual waiting period, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Under this initiative, migrants who enter the U.S. through the CBP One app process can apply right away for an employment authorization document, which grants them the legal right to work in the U.S., as stated by DHS.

Federal data reveals that between January and July, more than 188,500 migrants have made CBP One entry appointments at various ports along the southern border.

This comes in response to mounting pressure from Democratic politicians who have been urging the Biden administration to expedite work permits for migrants, as their cities and states face overwhelming numbers.

If migrants choose not to utilize the CBP One system and instead enter the country illegally with an asylum claim, they are required to wait 150 days before being eligible to apply for a work permit.

Additionally, they must wait an extra 30 days to receive the permit, as confirmed by a Biden administration official in a recent statement to the DCNF.

According to the White House, approximately 16% of working-age migrants who entered the country using CBP One have applied for work authorization.

Despite this, the implementation of the CBP One program has coincided with a surge in illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border. Encounters have risen sharply, from around 99,000 in June to over 132,000 in July, and then exceeding 177,000 in August.

In an effort to alleviate the burden on New York, the Biden administration has promised assistance to eligible migrants during the work permit application process. Nevertheless, officials strongly urge migrants who wish to enter the U.S. to utilize the CBP One process for a smoother transition.

A statement from the White House following a recent meeting with Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochul revealed that about 20% of noncitizens intending to arrive in this region have been paroled after scheduling appointments through CBP One.

Consequently, these individuals are eligible to work immediately upon application.
