I oppose making employment authorization discretionary for certain aliens. Predictable, rule-based work authorization helps individuals support their families, reduces reliance on public assistance, and meets workforce needs. A discretionary system creates uncertainty, increases administrative burdens, risks inconsistent outcomes, and may discourage compliance with immigration processes. I urge the agency to maintain clear, objective, and consistent standards for employment authorization.
