Background: immigration control and work regulations

Undocumented immigrants have actually been considered a source of low-wage labor, both in the official and informal sectors of the economy. However, in the late 1980s with an increasing increase of un-regulated immigration, about how this would impact the economy and, at the exact same time, residents. Consequently, in 1986, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act “in order to control and deter prohibited migration to the United States” resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act carried out brand-new employment regulations that imposed company sanctions, criminal and civil charges “against employers who purposefully [worked with] unlawful employees”. [8] Prior to this reform, employers were not needed to confirm the identity and work authorization of their workers; for the extremely very first time, this reform “made it a criminal activity for undocumented immigrants to work” in the United States. [9]

The Employment Eligibility Verification document (I-9) was required to be used by companies to “verify the identity and work authorization of individuals employed for work in the United States”. [10] While this form is not to be sent unless requested by government officials, it is required that all employers have an I-9 form from each of their staff members, which they need to be maintain for three years after day of hire or one year after work is ended. [11]

I-9 certifying citizenship or migration statuses

– A resident of the United States.
– A noncitizen nationwide of the United States.
– A lawful irreversible citizen.
– An alien authorized to work – As an “Alien Authorized to Work,” the employee must supply an “A-Number” present in the EAD card, in addition to the expiration day of the temporary work authorization. Thus, as developed by kind I-9, the EAD card is a file which functions as both a recognition and confirmation of work eligibility. [10]

Concurrently, the Immigration Act of 1990 “increased the limitations on legal migration to the United States,” […] “recognized new nonimmigrant admission classifications,” and modified acceptable grounds for deportation. Most importantly, it exposed the “authorized temporary safeguarded status” for aliens of designated nations. [7]

Through the revision and creation of new classes of nonimmigrants, gotten approved for admission and momentary working status, both IRCA and the Immigration Act of 1990 supplied legislation for the policy of work of noncitizen.

The 9/11 attacks gave the surface the weak element of the immigration system. After the September 11 attacks, the United States heightened its concentrate on interior support of immigration laws to reduce unlawful immigration and to determine and remove criminal aliens. [12]

Temporary employee: Alien Authorized to Work

Undocumented Immigrants are individuals in the United States without lawful status. When these individuals receive some type of relief from deportation, employment individuals might get approved for some type of legal status. In this case, momentarily secured noncitizens are those who are granted “the right to stay in the nation and work during a designated duration”. Thus, this is kind of an “in-between status” that supplies individuals temporary work and momentary relief from deportation, however it does not lead to permanent residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, a Work Authorization Document must not be puzzled with a legalization file and it is neither U.S. permanent citizen status nor U.S. citizenship status. The Employment Authorization Document is given, as discussed previously, to eligible noncitizens as part of a reform or law that provides individuals temporary legal status

Examples of “Temporarily Protected” noncitizens (eligible for an Employment Authorization Document)

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) – Under Temporary Protected Status, employment individuals are offered remedy for deportation as short-lived refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are offered secured status if discovered that “conditions in that country posture a risk to personal security due to ongoing armed conflict or an environmental catastrophe”. This status is approved typically for employment 6 to 18 month periods, eligible for renewal unless the person’s Temporary Protected Status is ended by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. If withdrawal of Temporary Protected Status occurs, the specific faces exclusion or deportation proceedings. [13]
– Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was authorized by President Obama in 2012; it provided certified undocumented youth “access to relief from deportation, eco-friendly work permits, and short-lived Social Security numbers”. [14]
Deferred Action for employment Parents of Americans (DAPA): If enacted, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans would provide moms and employment dads of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, defense from deportation and make them qualified for an Employment Authorization Document. [15]
