Asylum seekers in the EU indeed get a monthly allowance and are prohibited from working. Is this not a known fact?

They need to get permission, but they can work. I did mention that this person wanted all foreigners out.
Which is a direct result of the right-wing conservatives complaining about them taking locals' jobs. There are some exceptions like for Ukrainian refugees.

By the way this is only during the validation of their asylum-seeker status. Once they get permanent residency they can work.
