Background: migration 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 increase of un-regulated migration, numerous anxious 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 control and discourage unlawful immigration to the United States” resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act carried out brand-new employment guidelines that enforced employer sanctions, criminal and civil penalties “against employers who knowingly [hired] unlawful workers”. [8] Prior to this reform, companies were not needed to verify the identity and work authorization of their workers; for the very first time, this reform “made it a criminal activity for undocumented immigrants to work” in the United States. [9]
The Employment Eligibility Verification file (I-9) was needed to be used by employers to “confirm the identity and employment authorization of people employed for employment in the United States”. [10] While this form is not to be sent unless requested by government officials, it is needed that all companies have an I-9 type from each of their staff members, which they should be keep for 3 years after day of hire or one year after employment is ended. [11]
I-9 qualifying citizenship or immigration statuses
– A citizen of the United States.
– A noncitizen nationwide of the United States.
– A legal long-term local.
– An alien licensed to work – As an “Alien Authorized to Work,” the staff member needs to offer an “A-Number” present in the EAD card, in addition to the expiration day of the temporary work authorization. Thus, as developed by type I-9, the EAD card is a document which functions as both an identification and verification of employment eligibility. [10]
Concurrently, the Immigration Act of 1990 “increased the limitations on legal migration to the United States,” […] “established new nonimmigrant admission classifications,” and revised appropriate premises for deportation. Most significantly, it brought to light the “authorized momentary safeguarded status” for aliens of designated nations. [7]
Through the revision and creation of new classes of nonimmigrants, qualified for admission and short-term working status, both IRCA and the Immigration Act of 1990 provided legislation for the policy of work of noncitizen.
The 9/11 attacks gave the surface area the weak element of the immigration system. After the September 11 attacks, the United States intensified its concentrate on interior reinforcement of migration laws to reduce unlawful immigration and to determine and remove criminal aliens. [12]
Temporary employee: Alien Authorized to Work
Undocumented Immigrants are people in the United States without lawful status. When these individuals get approved for some form of remedy for deportation, individuals might get approved for some form of legal status. In this case, briefly secured noncitizens are those who are given “the right to remain in the nation and work during a designated duration”. Thus, this is sort of an “in-between status” that offers people momentary work and temporary relief from deportation, however it does not lead to permanent residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, a Work Authorization Document ought to not be confused with a legalization file and it is neither U.S. long-term homeowner status nor U.S. citizenship status. The Employment Authorization Document is offered, as discussed previously, to eligible noncitizens as part of a reform or law that provides individuals momentary legal status
Examples of “Temporarily Protected” noncitizens (eligible for a Work Authorization Document)
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) – Under Status, people are given relief from deportation as short-term refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are provided protected status if found that “conditions because nation pose a risk to individual safety due to continuous armed conflict or an environmental disaster”. This status is given normally for 6 to 18 month periods, 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 exclusion or deportation proceedings. [13]
– Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was authorized by President Obama in 2012; it supplied qualified undocumented youth “access to remedy for deportation, eco-friendly work authorizations, and short-term Social Security numbers”. [14]
Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA): If enacted, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans would supply parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, protection from deportation and make them qualified for an Employment Authorization Document. [15]
