Background: immigration control and employment guidelines
Undocumented immigrants have been thought about a source of low-wage labor, both in the formal and casual sectors of the economy. However, in the late 1980s with an increasing increase of un-regulated migration, lots of anxious about how this would impact the economy and, at the very same time, citizens. Consequently, in 1986, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act “in order to control and deter unlawful migration to the United States” resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act executed brand-new work policies that enforced company sanctions, criminal and civil penalties “against companies who intentionally [hired] illegal employees”. [8] Prior to this reform, companies were not required to verify the identity and employment authorization of their employees; for the really 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 employers to “confirm the identity and work authorization of individuals hired for work in the United States”. [10] While this form is not to be submitted unless requested by government authorities, it is required that all employers have an I-9 type from each of their employees, which they need to be retain for 3 years after day of hire or one year after employment is terminated. [11]
I-9 certifying citizenship or migration statuses
– A resident of the United States.
– A noncitizen national of the United States.
– A lawful long-term 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, in addition to the expiration day of the temporary work permission. Thus, as established by kind I-9, the EAD card is a file which functions as both an identification and verification of employment eligibility. [10]
Concurrently, the Immigration Act of 1990 “increased the limitations on legal immigration to the United States,” […] “recognized brand-new nonimmigrant admission categories,” and modified acceptable premises for deportation. Most importantly, it brought to light the “authorized short-term safeguarded status” for aliens of designated countries. [7]
Through the revision 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 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 intensified its concentrate on interior reinforcement of migration laws to reduce prohibited immigration and to determine and eliminate criminal aliens. [12]
Temporary worker: Alien Authorized to Work
Undocumented Immigrants are individuals in the United States without legal status. When these people qualify for some form of relief from deportation, people might get approved for some type of legal status. In this case, briefly protected noncitizens are those who are approved “the right to remain in the nation and work throughout a designated duration”. Thus, this is sort of an “in-between status” that supplies people temporary employment and short-term remedy for deportation, but it does not cause irreversible 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 before, to qualified noncitizens as part of a reform or law that provides individuals short-term legal status
Examples of “Temporarily Protected” noncitizens (eligible for a Work Authorization Document)
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) – Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are given relief from deportation as short-lived refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, people are given secured status if discovered that “conditions because country pose a threat to individual security due to continuous armed conflict or an environmental disaster”. This status is granted 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 takes place, the specific faces exemption or deportation proceedings. [13]
– Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was licensed by President Obama in 2012; it supplied qualified undocumented youth “access to remedy for deportation, eco-friendly work permits, and temporary Social Security numbers”. [14]
Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA): If enacted, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans would offer parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, defense from deportation and make them qualified for an Employment Authorization Document. [15]
