October 31, 2019 | Littler Filed Under: Asylum

Littler

In the spring of 2019, the Social Security Administration (SSA) renewed its practice of sending employment eligibility correction request notices (known as “no-match letters”) to employers. The SSA had discontinued the practice of sending no-match letters between 2012 and 2018, but has issued more than half a million notices so far in 2019. Against the backdrop of a tight labor market, these letters particularly affect businesses in industries that rely on immigrant workers, including employers in the hospitality, construction, and agricultural industries.

New Public Charge Rule Seen as Latest Effort to Tighten Legal Immigration

August 19, 2019 | Jackson Lewis Filed Under: Asylum

Jackson Lewis

Having focused on enforcement and illegal immigration, the Trump Administration has recently turned to legal immigration. The new Public Charge rule which will go into effect on October 15, 2019, absent court action, will make it harder for some foreign nationals to obtain green cards or even to secure or extend temporary non-immigrant status. What has been something that primarily affected family-based immigration may now affect some employers and their employees as well. Any workers with a family of four and an income of less than $64,000 (or 250% of the federal poverty guidelines) could be subject to the Public Charge Rule.

The 800,000 DACA recipients are known as “Dreamers,” and are generally considered to be model residents of the United States.

Trump Administration Rescinds DAPA Program

June 18, 2017 | Jackson Lewis Filed Under: Asylum

Jackson Lewis

DHS Secretary Kelly has rescinded DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanents). DAPA was meant to 1) provide undocumented parents of U.S. citizens or Green Card holders with a way to remain in the U.S. with work authorization and 2) expand DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) by encompassing a wider range of ages and arrival dates and lengthening the duration of deferred action and work authorization per application from two to three years. Created by President Obama by an executive order, DAPA was quickly enjoined by the courts as an unacceptable expansion of executive power. The Obama administration appealed to the Supreme Court, and just one year ago, the lower court ruling was affirmed by default as a result of the Supreme Court deadlocking at 4 to 4. The case has since been stalled.

Jackson Lewis

In a series of cables sent in mid-March, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had ordered Consulates abroad to begin preparing for “extreme vetting.” Then, the court in Hawaii v. Trump enjoined the President’s revised travel ban, and Tillerson issued another cable that suspended enforcement on the six countries in the Executive Order: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. The Secretary also indicated that Consulates could not request information until additional collection was approved by the Office of Management and Budget after a notice-and-comment period.
