Disapproving of the rule submitted by the Department of Homeland Security relating to "Increase of the Automatic Extension Period of Employment Authorization and Documentation for Certain Employment Authorization Document Renewal Applicants".

What this bill does

  • This resolution cancels a DHS rule that extended work permits for certain immigrants from 180 days to 540 days.
  • The change affects noncitizens who renew their employment authorization documents on time.
  • If passed, the rule would be nullified and the shorter 180-day extension period would be restored.

    How might extending work permits from 180 to 540 days affect labor market competition and wage pressure in industries that rely on immigrant workers?

  2. 02

    Which groups of noncitizens would be most disrupted by reverting to shorter work permit extensions, and what are the administrative costs of more frequent renewals?

  3. 03

    What evidence supports the claim that the 540-day extension creates problems that justify the burden of returning to the 180-day cycle?
