Obama’s Unlawful ‘Shadow’ Authorization System for Illegal Aliens

Paging Congress.

The Obama administration has been issuing millions of work permits over the limits set by Congress, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies.

In the report released Monday, the anti-amnesty group explains data it obtained from U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) via a Freedom of Information Request.

Federal records show, the CIS finds, that from 2009-2014 the agency issued 5,461,568 new work permits to immigrants, beyond the 1.1 million legal immigrants and 700,000 guest workers admitted to the U.S. each year.

CIS laid out three categories of immigrants who received work authorization under what the group is calling a “shadow” system:

“Approximately 1.8 million new work permits were issued to aliens with temporary visas or who entered under the visa waiver program. Of these, about 1.2 million (67%) had a visa status for which employment is not authorized by law, such as foreign students and independents of guest workers.

About 982,000 new work permits issued to illegal aliens or aliens unqualified for admission. Of these, 957,000 were aliens who crossed the border illegally (Entered Without Inspection). Inexplicably, 1,200 new work permits were issued to aliens who were denied asylum, were suspected of using fraudulent documents, were stowaways, or were refused at a port of entry.

About 1.7 million, were issued to aliens whose status was unknown, not recorded by the adjudicator, or not disclosed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the agency that processes the applications.”

“I was astonished at the huge number of work permits that are being issued by the Obama administration outside the legal immigration system through executive discretion, especially at a time of high unemployment and stagnant wages,” Jessica Vaughan, CIS’ director of policy studies, said Monday. “Besides the effect on the American worker, it encourages and rewards more illegal immigration.”

Hey Jessica, what’s the area code of your cave? The Obama regime has been circumventing Congress, violating the law, and shredding the constitution for the last 6 years. Since 2009, I’ve been astonished at the fact the asshole and other criminals in his cabinet aren’t in Leavenworth by now.

The remarkable number of work permits granted by the federal government to law-breaking aliens better explains how all net jobs growth since 2007 has gone to immigrants. The government issued approximately 1.7 million work permits since 2009 to aliens whose status was not known, not recorded, or not disclosed by USCIS, according to the report. The report says employment is not authorized by law for approximately 1.2 million immigrants who collected work permits while having a temporary visa status.

So, the next time Obama touts his job numbers, which are ridiculously inflated to begin with, consider all the Americans who are out of work and the job permits he’s giving to illegals who shouldn’t have been allowed in this country.

Tomorrow, the Senate is scheduled to vote on a bill that funds the DHS, while blocking funding that would allow USCIS to implement Obama’s unlawful executive action. We’ll see if they have the integrity to pass it.
