Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinds guidance safeguarding the right of refugees, asylum seekers

Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Tuesday rescinded a 2011 Justice Department guidance mandating that asylum seekers and refugees have a “right” to work in the U.S.

The Obama-era document was included on a list of 24 Justice Department guidances that Sessions scrapped because he said they were “unnecessary, outdated, inconsistent with existing law” or imposed without congressional approval.

“That’s wrong, and it’s not good government,” Sessions said in a statement.

The 2011 guidance, which was issued by the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-related Unfair Employment Practices, ensured asylum seekers and refugees were “authorized to work indefinitely” and could obtain Social Security cards “without employment restrictions.”

The KKK is fine except for the pot smoking. A 2011 DOJ mandate to make lives easier is outdated. Garrett78 Jul 2018 #3

Once again, I'm sure it's just the economic anxiety talking.
