Background: immigration control and employment guidelines

Undocumented immigrants have been thought about 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 immigration, many concerned about how this would impact the economy and, at the same time, citizens. Consequently, in 1986, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act “in order to control and hinder prohibited migration to the United States” resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act executed new employment guidelines that enforced employer sanctions, criminal and civil penalties “against companies who intentionally [employed] illegal workers”. [8] Prior to this reform, employers were not needed to validate the identity and employment authorization of their staff members; for the really first time, this reform “made it a criminal offense for undocumented immigrants to work” in the United States. [9]

The Employment Eligibility file (I-9) was required to be utilized by companies to “validate the identity and work permission of individuals hired for employment in the United States”. [10] While this type is not to be submitted unless asked for by federal government authorities, it is required that all companies have an I-9 type from each of their staff members, which they must be retain for three years after day of hire or one year after employment is ended. [11]

I-9 certifying citizenship or immigration statuses

– A person of the United States.
– A noncitizen national of the United States.
– A lawful irreversible resident.
– An alien authorized to work – As an “Alien Authorized to Work,” the staff member needs to offer an “A-Number” present in the EAD card, together with the expiration day of the temporary employment permission. Thus, as developed by type I-9, the EAD card is a document which serves as both an identification and confirmation of work eligibility. [10]

Concurrently, the Immigration Act of 1990 “increased the limitations on lawful immigration to the United States,” […] “established new nonimmigrant admission categories,” and modified appropriate premises for deportation. Most importantly, it exposed the “authorized momentary protected status” for aliens of designated nations. [7]

Through the modification and development of new classes of nonimmigrants, gotten approved for admission and short-term 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 area the weak element of the migration system. After the September 11 attacks, the United States magnified its focus on interior support of immigration laws to reduce prohibited immigration and to identify and get rid of criminal aliens. [12]

Temporary employee: Alien Authorized to Work

Undocumented Immigrants are people in the United States without legal status. When these individuals qualify for some kind of relief from deportation, individuals may receive some kind of legal status. In this case, temporarily secured noncitizens are those who are granted “the right to stay in the country and work during a designated duration”. Thus, this is type of an “in-between status” that provides individuals short-term work and short-term relief from deportation, but it does not lead to long-term residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, employment an Employment Authorization Document ought to not be puzzled with a legalization document and it is neither U.S. permanent local 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 offers people momentary legal status

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

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) – Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are offered relief from deportation as momentary refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, people are offered protected status if found that “conditions because country posture a risk to personal safety due to continuous armed dispute or an ecological catastrophe”. This status is given typically for 6 to 18 month periods, 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 procedures. [13]
– Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was authorized by President Obama in 2012; it supplied qualified undocumented youth “access to remedy for deportation, renewable 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 offer moms and dads of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, defense from deportation and make them qualified for an Employment Authorization Document. [15]
