What are BCC holders prohibited from doing?

BCC holders, or those with a Border Crossing Card, are specifically restricted from living and/or working in the U.S. This document allows individuals to travel back and forth across the U.S.-Mexico border but does not grant them the same rights as permanent residents or citizens. The primary purpose of the BCC is for short visits, typically for leisure or business, and it does not sanction residency or employment in the United States.

While individuals with a BCC can have a driver’s license in some states or travel internationally, and they can pursue citizenship pathways under certain circumstances, their immigration status still limits their ability to reside and earn a living in the U.S. This is why the prohibition against living and working is a key aspect of the constraints placed on BCC holders.
