Background: immigration control and employment guidelines

Undocumented immigrants have been thought about a source of low-wage labor, employment both in the official and casual 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, residents. Consequently, in 1986, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act “in order to manage and discourage prohibited immigration to the United States” resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act carried out new employment regulations that imposed company sanctions, criminal and civil charges “versus companies who intentionally [employed] prohibited workers”. [8] Prior to this reform, companies were not needed to validate the identity and employment authorization of their workers; 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 employers to “verify the identity and work authorization of people employed for work in the United States”. [10] While this form is not to be sent unless asked for by federal government authorities, employment it is required that all companies have an I-9 type from each of their workers, which they need to be maintain for 3 years after day of hire or one year after work is ended. [11]

I-9 qualifying citizenship or migration statuses

– A citizen of the United States.
– A of the United States.
– A legal irreversible homeowner.
– 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-term employment authorization. Thus, as established by type I-9, the EAD card is a file which acts as both a recognition and confirmation of employment eligibility. [10]

Concurrently, the Immigration Act of 1990 “increased the limitations on lawful immigration to the United States,” […] “established new nonimmigrant admission classifications,” and modified appropriate grounds for deportation. Most significantly, it brought to light the “authorized momentary secured status” for aliens of designated countries. [7]

Through the revision and development of new classes of nonimmigrants, received admission and short-lived working status, both IRCA and the Immigration Act of 1990 offered legislation for the guideline of employment of noncitizen.

The 9/11 attacks brought to the surface area the weak aspect of the immigration system. After the September 11 attacks, the United States heightened its concentrate on interior reinforcement of migration laws to reduce unlawful migration and to recognize and remove criminal aliens. [12]

Temporary worker: 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, individuals might certify for some kind of legal status. In this case, briefly secured noncitizens are those who are given “the right to stay in the nation and work during a designated period”. Thus, this is type of an “in-between status” that provides people temporary employment and momentary relief from deportation, however it does not cause permanent residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, an Employment Authorization Document must not be puzzled with a legalization document and it is neither U.S. irreversible resident status nor U.S. citizenship status. The Employment Authorization Document is offered, as discussed in the past, to qualified noncitizens as part of a reform or law that gives individuals short-lived legal status

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

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) – Under Temporary Protected Status, people are offered remedy for deportation as momentary refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are provided protected status if found that “conditions in that nation pose a risk to individual safety due to ongoing armed dispute or an ecological disaster”. This status is given generally 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 private faces exemption or deportation procedures. [13]
– Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was licensed by President Obama in 2012; it provided certified undocumented youth “access to relief from deportation, renewable work permits, and short-lived Social Security numbers”. [14]
Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA): If enacted, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans would provide moms and dads of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, security from deportation and make them qualified for an Employment Authorization Document. [15]
