The three Hispanic Democratic reps known as the “Three Amigos” are demanding the Biden administration use executive powers to allow work permits for illegal aliens.
Reps. Adriano Espaillat, N.Y., Jesús “Chuy” García, Ill., and Lou Correa, Calif., are delivering a letter Wednesday to President Joe Biden, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and the US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Ur Jaddou, laying out their plan for the undocumented to be granted legal work permits and also why it is it in the best interest of the American citizen, reported The Hill.
The Three Amigos, or perhaps, Conquistidors wrote in the letter:
Implementing such a policy would benefit workers nationwide. Legal work permits would further shield immigrants from exploitation and enable them to seek jobs that match their skills, thereby fostering better working conditions … Additionally, granting work permits to long-term immigrant workers could increase annual tax revenue by an estimated $13.8 billion, according to the American Immigration Council.
Their concern lies in the existing programs that are part of the asylum application versus the illegal aliens who have lived or worked in the US for longer periods — even decades — without the ability to apply for work papers. The Hill reported that the three Democrats have been working with 11 pro-immigrant NGOs and 87 local elected officials.

Since 2019, migration into Western nations has exploded. The origin of the migrants and their modes of illegal entry have also shifted. The outlet reported that as of now, approximately 10 to 11 million illegals reside in the United States — mostly in California, where it has even changed the electorate.
Most migrants come into the US from Mexico, but there are also large amounts from Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela and parts of West Asia, according to sources familiar with migration.
These migrants either illegally enter or overstay visas, but Mayorkas has not been too forceful of the law after the abolition of Title 42. He is undergoing impeachment proceedings for his disgraceful efforts to flood America with illegals. With this, many of these migrants cannot legally apply for work permits.
The lawmakers wrote in their letter:
We commend your use of executive authority to expand work permit access for recent arrivals from various countries. However, we believe it’s time to extend this dignity to America’s longer-term immigrant communities, who have waited for relief for decades.
The Hill reported that many of the new migrants, consisting of asylum seekers and parolees, are part of a “gray area between documented and undocumented.” With that, they have been able to apply for work permits with assurances from the Biden administration.
With states like New York at the max with social service spending — not even having the funds to pay for disabled citizens’ housing — the goal is to take migrants off those benefits geared towards citizens and have them work.

In the greater sense, it is all a method to foster a new American culture based upon its new working force, just as Democrats have intended for their new voting bloc.
