Background: immigration control and employment regulations
Undocumented immigrants have actually been considered a source of low-wage labor, both in the formal and informal sectors of the economy. However, in the late 1980s with an increasing influx of un-regulated migration, many concerned about how this would affect the economy and, at the very same time, people. Consequently, in 1986, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act “in order to control and prevent prohibited migration to the United States” resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act implemented brand-new work policies that enforced company sanctions, criminal and civil penalties “versus employers who knowingly [employed] illegal workers”. [8] Prior to this reform, employers were not required to verify the identity and employment permission of their staff members; for the very first time, this reform “made it a crime 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 submitted unless requested by government officials, it is needed that all employers have an I-9 type from each of their employees, which they should be keep for 3 years after day of hire or one year after work is terminated. [11]
I-9 qualifying citizenship or immigration statuses
– A person of the United States.
– A noncitizen nationwide of the United States.
– A legal permanent citizen.
– An alien authorized to work – As an “Alien Authorized to Work,” the worker should offer an “A-Number” present in the EAD card, along with the expiration day of the momentary work permission. Thus, as developed by type I-9, the EAD card is a file which functions 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,” […] “recognized brand-new nonimmigrant admission classifications,” and revised appropriate grounds for deportation. Most notably, it exposed the “authorized short-term safeguarded status” for aliens of designated nations. [7]
Through the revision and creation of brand-new classes of nonimmigrants, gotten approved for admission and short-lived 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 aspect of the immigration system. After the September 11 attacks, the United States heightened its focus on interior reinforcement of migration laws to lower prohibited migration and to recognize and employment eliminate criminal aliens. [12]
Temporary worker: Alien Authorized to Work
Undocumented Immigrants are people in the United States without legal status. When these people certify for some form of relief from deportation, individuals might receive some type of legal status. In this case, temporarily secured noncitizens are those who are given “the right to stay in the country and work during a designated duration”. Thus, this is kind of an “in-between status” that provides individuals momentary employment and momentary remedy for deportation, however it does not lead to irreversible residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, an Employment Authorization Document ought to not be confused with a legalization document and it is neither U.S. long-term homeowner status nor U.S. citizenship status. The Employment Authorization Document is given, as mentioned before, to eligible noncitizens as part of a reform or law that provides individuals momentary legal status
Examples of “Temporarily Protected” noncitizens (eligible for an Employment Authorization Document)
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) – Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are provided remedy for deportation as short-lived refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, people are provided protected status if found that “conditions in that nation present a danger to personal security due to ongoing armed dispute or an ecological disaster”. This status is approved normally 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 private faces exemption or deportation procedures. [13]
– Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was licensed by President Obama in 2012; it provided qualified undocumented youth “access to relief from deportation, renewable work permits, and momentary 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, defense from deportation and make them qualified for a Work Authorization Document. [15]
