The Biden administration’s decision to grant special status to Venezuelan migrants will have no greater impact than in New York City, where thousands of immigrants will soon be eligible to begin legally applying for work and eventually move out of taxpayer-funded shelters.
Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul, both Democrats, cast the move as a badly needed reprieve, saying on Thursday that it could help some of the 60,000 migrants in city care move to independent housing more quickly. The policy could also help ensure that other Venezuelans never need the shelters.
Yet even as they celebrated a policy shift after months of intensely lobbying the White House, top New York officials, immigration experts and shelter operators labored to figure out the practical and political impact of a decision many thought President Biden would never make.
Some conceded that it would do little to defray the larger crisis confronting the nation’s largest city — and could eventually worsen it by encouraging more people to immigrate.
“There was a clear call coming from New York City on work authorization, and I want to thank the White House on hearing us,” Mr. Adams said on Thursday, before adding a more downbeat note. He said 10,000 migrants were arriving in the city every month, “and a substantial number are still in our care today.”….

The administration had already extended special protections to close to 250,000 Venezuelans who had arrived in the country before March 2021, as well as to thousands of others from Ukraine, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua and other countries. On Thursday, Homeland Security announced that it would extend protections to Afghan immigrants.
The program does not provide a permanent path to legal residence, but has been used by presidents in both parties to grant humanitarian protections to migrants fleeing wars, natural disasters and other violence. The Biden administration said that Venezuelans, who constitute one of the largest sources of migration, fit that description.
