Background: immigration control and work regulations

Undocumented immigrants have actually been considered a source of low-wage labor, both in the official and casual sectors of the economy. However, in the late 1980s with an increasing influx of un-regulated migration, lots of worried about how this would impact the economy and, at the very same time, residents. Consequently, in 1986, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act “in order to control and discourage unlawful migration to the United States” resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act implemented new employment regulations that enforced employer sanctions, criminal and civil charges “versus employers who knowingly [worked with] prohibited employees”. [8] Prior to this reform, employment companies were not needed to confirm the identity and work permission of their staff members; for the very very first time, this reform “made it a criminal offense for undocumented immigrants to work” in the United States. [9]

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

I-9 certifying citizenship or immigration statuses

– A person of the United States.
– A noncitizen national of the United States.
– A legal long-term local.
– An alien licensed to work – As an “Alien Authorized to Work,” the employee must offer an “A-Number” present in the EAD card, together with the expiration day of the short-term work authorization. Thus, as established by form I-9, the EAD card is a file which serves as both a recognition and confirmation of employment eligibility. [10]

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

Through the revision and creation of brand-new classes of nonimmigrants, qualified for admission and short-term working status, both IRCA and the Immigration Act of 1990 provided legislation for the guideline of employment of noncitizen.

The 9/11 attacks gave the surface the weak aspect of the immigration system. After the September 11 attacks, the United States intensified its focus on interior reinforcement of migration laws to minimize illegal immigration and to determine and get rid of criminal aliens. [12]

Temporary worker: Alien Authorized to Work

Undocumented Immigrants are people in the United States without lawful status. When these people get for some type of relief from deportation, individuals may receive some kind of legal status. In this case, momentarily protected noncitizens are those who are given “the right to remain in the country and work during a designated duration”. Thus, this is kind of an “in-between status” that offers individuals short-lived employment and momentary remedy for deportation, however it does not result in permanent residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, an Employment Authorization Document must not be confused with a legalization document and it is neither U.S. irreversible local status nor U.S. citizenship status. The Employment Authorization Document is provided, as mentioned in the past, to qualified noncitizens as part of a reform or law that gives people temporary 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 short-term refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are offered protected status if discovered that “conditions in that nation position a risk to personal security due to ongoing armed dispute or an ecological disaster”. This status is granted typically 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 takes place, the private faces exclusion or deportation procedures. [13] – Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was licensed by President Obama in 2012; it supplied certified undocumented youth “access to relief from deportation, renewable work licenses, and temporary Social Security numbers”. [14] Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA): If enacted, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans would provide parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, defense from deportation and make them eligible for an Employment Authorization Document. [15]
