Sessions rescinds guidance on refugees, asylum seekers' right to work
Source: The Hill
Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Tuesday rescinded a 2011 guidance that dictated refugees and asylum seekers have the right to work.
The document, issued by the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices, stated that the refugees and asylum seekers are authorized to work indefinitely and can receive Social Security cards without employment restrictions.
The guidance also stated that employers cannot require employees to show Department of Homeland Security-issued documents, if they have a Social Security Card and a state-issued drivers license or ID card. Employers were also blocked from refusing to hire refugees or asylum seekers for not having a Social Security number, according to the guidance.
The Justice Department announced Tuesday that it was rescinding 24 guidance documents that were deemed to be "unnecessary, outdated, inconsistent with existing law, or otherwise improper," according to a department release.
Sessions said in the release that Americans "deserve to have their voices heard and a government that is accountable to them."
