As many of you are aware, a Department of Homeland Security memo on possible
plans to issue EADs to I-140 holders was leaked some time ago. Yesterday,
Congressman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) has issued a press release stating that
this memo indicates that DHS’s real plan is to give EADs to undocumented
immigrants since litigation has stalled President Obama’s other executive
actions, DAPA and DACA expansion: http://lamarsmith.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/smith-dhs-memo-reveals-plans-to-defy-federal-judge-on-immigration
While Representative Smith is correct that the leaked memo does mention the
possibility of undocumented immigrants being able to obtain EADs, in
actuality, the memo indicates that the “Office of Policy and Strategy
recommends Option 2, in which EADS may only be granted to individuals who
are lawfully present in the United States.”
Unfortunately, the memo has received more negative press in light of Rep.
Smith’s press release:

I am worried that the plan to issue EADs to I-140 holders to help employment
-based applicants stuck in visa backlogs may be derailed by these reports.
If you are in the 21st District of Texas and you support the I-140 EAD for
lawful nonimmigrants stuck in employment-based visa backlogs, consider
emailing Representative Smith at: http://lamarsmith.house.gov/contact/email-lamar
If you are not in this district, you can mail a letter to:
The Honorable Lamar Smith
