Background: immigration control and employment policies

Undocumented immigrants have actually been considered a source of low-wage labor, both in the formal and casual sectors of the economy. However, in the late 1980s with an increasing influx of un-regulated migration, lots of anxious about how this would affect the economy and, at the very same time, citizens. Consequently, in 1986, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act “in order to control and discourage illegal immigration to the United States” resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act carried out brand-new work policies that imposed employer sanctions, criminal and civil charges “versus employers who intentionally [employed] illegal employees”. [8] Prior to this reform, companies were not needed to confirm the identity and employment permission of their employees; for the very first time, this reform “made it a crime for undocumented immigrants to work” in the United States. [9]

The Employment Eligibility Verification document (I-9) was required to be utilized by companies to “verify the identity and employment permission of individuals worked with for work in the United States”. [10] While this form is not to be sent unless requested by federal government officials, it is needed that all companies have an I-9 type from each of their employees, which they must be maintain for 3 years after day of hire or one year after employment is ended. [11]

I-9 certifying citizenship or migration statuses

– A citizen of the United States.
– A noncitizen nationwide of the United States.
– A lawful permanent citizen.
– An alien licensed to work – As an “Alien Authorized to Work,” the worker should offer an “A-Number” present in the EAD card, along with the expiration day of the short-lived work permission. Thus, as developed by type I-9, the EAD card is a document which acts as both a recognition and verification of work eligibility. [10]

Concurrently, the Immigration Act of 1990 “increased the limitations on legal immigration to the United States,” […] “recognized new nonimmigrant admission categories,” and revised appropriate grounds for deportation. Most notably, it exposed the “authorized short-lived safeguarded status” for aliens of designated countries. [7]

Through the modification and of brand-new classes of nonimmigrants, qualified for admission and momentary working status, both IRCA and the Immigration Act of 1990 supplied legislation for the guideline of work of noncitizen.

The 9/11 attacks gave the surface area the weak aspect of the migration system. After the September 11 attacks, the United States intensified its focus on interior support of migration laws to decrease unlawful migration and to identify and remove criminal aliens. [12]

Temporary employee: Alien Authorized to Work

Undocumented Immigrants are people in the United States without legal status. When these people certify for some form of remedy for deportation, individuals may receive some form of legal status. In this case, briefly secured noncitizens are those who are granted “the right to remain in the country and work during a designated period”. Thus, this is type of an “in-between status” that supplies people short-term employment and temporary remedy for deportation, however it does not result in irreversible residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, a Work Authorization Document must not be puzzled with a legalization file and it is neither U.S. irreversible citizen status nor U.S. citizenship status. The Employment Authorization Document is offered, as discussed before, to eligible noncitizens as part of a reform or law that gives individuals short-lived legal status

Examples of “Temporarily Protected” noncitizens (eligible for a Work Authorization Document)

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) – Under Temporary Protected Status, people are offered remedy for deportation as temporary refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are offered safeguarded status if found that “conditions in that nation pose a risk to personal safety due to continuous armed dispute or an ecological catastrophe”. This status is granted usually for 6 to 18 month durations, eligible for renewal unless the individual’s Temporary Protected Status is terminated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. If withdrawal of Temporary Protected Status occurs, the specific faces exemption or deportation proceedings. [13]
– Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was licensed by President Obama in 2012; it offered certified undocumented youth “access to relief from deportation, eco-friendly work permits, and temporary Social Security numbers”. [14]
Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA): If enacted, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans would offer parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, security from deportation and make them qualified for a Work Authorization Document. [15]
