From my recent Substack post on immigration:
Established under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the American Job Centers provide an impressive array of services such as career counseling, assistance with job searches, free internet, and hiring events.
The federally funded International Rescue Committee’s “Switchboard” website notes that “Participants in the WIOA Adult program . . . who are low income, receive public assistance, or are ‘basic skills deficient,’ including English language learners, are entitled to priority individualized career services and training services. This may include many refugees, asylees, parolees, or SIV holders. AJC staff must prioritize services to qualifying individuals ahead of other jobseekers.” [Emphasis added.]
Execupundit note: Consider who falls into that "other job seekers" group. Providing service to them is not prioritized. They go to the back of the line.
"SIV holders" refers to Special Immigrant Visas that are granted to people who assisted the U.S. military, such as translators in Afghanistan and Iraq. "Parolees" has nothing to do with past criminal activity but simply means that the person has temporary permission to be in the United States.
