Background: immigration control and employment guidelines
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, lots of worried about how this would affect the economy and, at the exact same time, citizens. Consequently, in 1986, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act „in order to control and deter illegal immigration to the United States“ resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act executed new employment policies that enforced employer sanctions, criminal and civil penalties „versus companies who intentionally [worked with] prohibited workers“. [8] Prior to this reform, employers were not needed to verify the identity and employment authorization of their staff members; for the really 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 „validate the identity and work permission of individuals worked with for employment in the United States“. [10] While this type is not to be submitted unless asked for by federal government authorities, it is needed that all companies have an I-9 type from each of their staff members, which they must be maintain for 3 years after day of hire or one year after work is ended. [11]
I-9 certifying citizenship or immigration statuses
– A citizen of the United States.
– A noncitizen national of the United States.
– A lawful permanent resident.
– An alien licensed to work – As an „Alien Authorized to Work,“ the employee should supply an „A-Number“ present in the EAD card, along with the expiration day of the temporary employment authorization. Thus, as developed by kind I-9, the EAD card is a document which serves as both a recognition and confirmation of employment eligibility. [10]
Concurrently, the Immigration Act of 1990 „increased the limits on lawful migration to the United States,“ […] „recognized new nonimmigrant admission classifications,“ and revised appropriate grounds for deportation. Most importantly, it exposed the „authorized short-term secured status“ for aliens of designated nations. [7]
Through the revision and production of new classes of nonimmigrants, received admission and short-term working status, both IRCA and the Immigration Act of 1990 offered legislation for the policy of work of noncitizen.
The 9/11 attacks gave the surface area the weak aspect of the migration system. After the September 11 attacks, the United States magnified its concentrate on interior reinforcement of immigration laws to reduce unlawful immigration and to identify and remove criminal aliens. [12]
Temporary worker: Alien Authorized to Work
Undocumented Immigrants are people in the United States without lawful status. When these individuals get approved for employment some form of relief from deportation, people may for some form of legal status. In this case, momentarily secured noncitizens are those who are granted „the right to remain in the country and work during a designated duration“. Thus, this is kind of an „in-between status“ that provides individuals momentary work and short-lived remedy for deportation, but it does not lead to irreversible residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, an Employment Authorization Document should not be confused with a legalization file and it is neither U.S. irreversible local status nor U.S. citizenship status. The Employment Authorization Document is offered, as pointed out before, to eligible 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 given remedy for deportation as temporary refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are offered safeguarded status if discovered that „conditions because nation posture a risk to personal security due to ongoing armed dispute or an environmental catastrophe“. This status is given typically for 6 to 18 month durations, eligible for renewal unless the individual’s Temporary Protected Status is ended by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. If withdrawal of Temporary Protected Status happens, the individual faces exclusion or deportation procedures. [13]
– Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was authorized by President Obama in 2012; it offered certified undocumented youth „access to relief from deportation, sustainable work authorizations, and momentary Social Security numbers“. [14]
Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA): If enacted, Deferred Action for employment Parents of Americans would supply parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, protection from deportation and make them eligible for an Employment Authorization Document. [15]
