Are refugees in the USA really discriminated against when it comes to employment? πŸ€” In this discussion, we break down the legal protections in place for refugees, including the Employment Authorisation Document (EAD) and how it allows them to work almost immediately upon arrival. πŸ’πŸ’Ό

πŸ”Ή Equal Opportunity, Not Equal Outcome – The USA provides a fair chance for all to excel.
πŸ”Ή What is an EAD? – A document that enables refugees to work legally.
πŸ”Ή Fast-Track Employment – Unlike visa holders, refugees get expedited work authorization.
πŸ”Ή Social Security & DMV – How refugees integrate quickly into society.
πŸ”Ή South Africans in the USA πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦βž‘οΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ – No category exists for β€œSouth African refugees,” but support is available.
