After Being Misunderstood For His Romance With 16-Year-Old, Hard-Working Worker And Others To Receive Work Visas.
The Department of Homeland Security has announced plans to release scores of undocumented detainees in anticipation of looming sequestration cuts. So that the releasees may find work, the White House announced a controversial new plan for temporary work visas for their employment at home improvement stores.
The so-called budget sequestration crisis has prompted the above moves. DHS faces a projected five-percent reduction in funding when the scheduled sequestration cuts go into effect. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement announced that they had “reviewed several hundred cases” and prepared these hard-working individuals for supervision “less costly than detention” according to spokeswoman Barbara Gonzales.
Many Republican Congressman are questioning what will happen to these individuals that had not completed their documentation upon their release because they currently are not fully authorized to work legally in the US. “The Administration is using the sequester to bow to political pressure from the amnesty groups and releasing people with no legal employment,” Sen. Jeff Sessions said.
The White House quickly moved to neutralize the criticism that these hard-working folks will have no legal employment waiting for them upon their release. In an appearance on Thursday, Pres. Obama announced a new plan through executive order entitled “Sequester Hope!”
Under the plan, Obama would grant through executive order all multi-state home improvement retailing chains with 50,000 temporary worker visas. These visas would be intended to serve the released detainees who lack full documentation but also could be used to employ hard-working undocumented workers frequently seen on Home Depot parking lots that have never been detained. The visas will be issued for one year and renewable for an indefinite number of years provided that the worker is not convicted of more than one aggravated felony resulting in death or dismemberment.
