Background: immigration control and work regulations
Undocumented immigrants have been thought about a source of low-wage labor, both in the official and informal sectors of the economy. However, in the late 1980s with an increasing influx of un-regulated migration, many concerned about how this would affect the economy and, at the same time, citizens. Consequently, in 1986, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act “in order to manage and hinder illegal immigration to the United States” resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act carried out new work policies that enforced employer sanctions, criminal and civil penalties “against employers who purposefully [worked with] prohibited employees”. [8] Prior to this reform, companies were not required to validate the identity and employment permission of their staff members; for the extremely 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 needed to be utilized by companies to “verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals employed for employment in the United States”. [10] While this kind is not to be sent unless asked for by government authorities, it is needed that all employers have an I-9 form from each of their workers, which they need to be maintain for 3 years after day of hire or employment one year after work is ended. [11]
I-9 qualifying citizenship or migration statuses
– A person 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 needs to provide an “A-Number” present in the EAD card, along with the expiration day of the short-lived work permission. Thus, as established by form I-9, the EAD card is a document which acts as both an identification and confirmation of employment eligibility. [10]
Concurrently, the Immigration Act of 1990 “increased the limits on legal migration to the United States,” […] “established new nonimmigrant admission classifications,” and revised acceptable grounds for deportation. Most significantly, it brought to light the “authorized short-term safeguarded status” for aliens of designated countries. [7]
Through the revision and creation of brand-new classes of nonimmigrants, received admission and short-term working status, both IRCA and the Immigration Act of 1990 offered legislation for the regulation of employment of noncitizen.
The 9/11 attacks gave the surface the weak element of the migration system. After the September 11 attacks, the United States intensified its concentrate on interior reinforcement of migration laws to minimize prohibited immigration and to determine and get rid of criminal aliens. [12]
Temporary worker: Alien Authorized to Work
Undocumented Immigrants are individuals in the United States without legal status. When these individuals qualify for some form of relief from deportation, people might qualify for some kind of legal status. In this case, momentarily secured noncitizens are those who are approved “the right to remain in the nation and work throughout a designated period”. Thus, this is kind of an “in-between status” that provides individuals short-term employment and short-lived remedy for deportation, but it does not cause permanent residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, a Work Authorization Document need to not be confused with a legalization file and it is neither U.S. irreversible homeowner status nor U.S. citizenship status. The Employment Authorization Document is given, as mentioned previously, to qualified noncitizens as part of a reform or law that offers people momentary legal status
Examples of “Temporarily Protected” noncitizens (eligible for a Work Authorization Document)
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) – Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are provided remedy for deportation as short-term refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are offered protected status if found that “conditions in that nation posture a threat to individual security due to ongoing armed conflict or an environmental disaster”. This status is approved normally for employment 6 to 18 month durations, eligible for renewal unless the person’s Temporary Protected Status is terminated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. If withdrawal of Temporary Protected Status happens, the specific faces exclusion or deportation proceedings. [13]
– Deferred Action for employment Childhood Arrivals was authorized by President Obama in 2012; it offered certified undocumented youth “access to relief from deportation, sustainable work licenses, and short-lived Social Security numbers”. [14]
Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA): employment If enacted, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans would supply moms and dads of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, defense from deportation and make them eligible for an Employment Authorization Document. [15]
