Both administrations said some migrants don’t know they are eligible to work or aren’t aware of how to go through the process to get a permit.

The White House also sent out a summary of the meeting. The key issue, according to both administrations, is that some migrants don’t know they are eligible to work, or aren’t aware of how to go through the process to get a permit. According to White House data, roughly 20% of migrants who indicated they were destined for New York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania are eligible for work permits immediately — but research indicates that many of them may not know how to apply.
The White House called the effort part of a “first-of-its-kind national campaign” to get the message out to migrants across the country.
