Background: immigration control and work guidelines
Undocumented immigrants have actually been considered a source of low-wage labor, both in the formal and casual sectors of the economy. However, in the late 1980s with an increasing influx of un-regulated migration, numerous anxious about how this would affect 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 deter prohibited immigration to the United States” resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act carried out brand-new work guidelines that enforced company sanctions, criminal and civil charges “versus companies who purposefully [hired] prohibited employees”. [8] Prior to this reform, companies were not needed to validate the identity and employment authorization of their workers; 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 file (I-9) was needed to be used by companies to “verify the identity and work authorization of people worked with for work 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 form from each of their workers, 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 immigration statuses
– A resident of the United States.
– A noncitizen nationwide of the United States.
– A lawful permanent resident.
– An alien licensed to work – As an “Alien Authorized to Work,” the employee needs to provide an “A-Number” present in the EAD card, in addition to the expiration day of the momentary work authorization. Thus, as established by kind I-9, the EAD card is a document which functions as both a recognition and verification of work eligibility. [10]
Concurrently, the Immigration Act of 1990 “increased the limitations on lawful migration to the United States,” […] “recognized brand-new nonimmigrant admission classifications,” and modified acceptable grounds for deportation. Most significantly, it brought to light the “authorized short-lived safeguarded status” for aliens of designated nations. [7]
Through the modification and production of brand-new classes of nonimmigrants, certified for employment admission and momentary 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 the weak aspect of the migration system. After the September 11 attacks, the United States heightened its focus on interior support of migration laws to decrease unlawful migration and to identify and eliminate criminal aliens. [12]
Temporary worker: Alien Authorized to Work
Undocumented Immigrants are individuals in the United States without lawful status. When these individuals certify for some form of remedy for deportation, individuals may qualify for some kind of legal status. In this case, briefly protected noncitizens are those who are granted “the right to remain in the country and work during a designated period”. Thus, this is kind of an “in-between status” that provides people short-term employment and temporary relief from deportation, but it does not cause long-term residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, a Work Authorization Document ought to not be puzzled with a legalization document and it is neither U.S. irreversible citizen status nor U.S. citizenship status. The Employment Authorization Document is provided, as discussed before, to qualified noncitizens as part of a reform or law that gives individuals short-lived legal status
Examples of “Temporarily Protected” noncitizens (eligible for a Work 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, individuals are given protected status if found that “conditions in that nation pose a danger to personal security due to continuous armed conflict or an ecological catastrophe”. This status is approved usually for 6 to 18 month periods, 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 occurs, the private faces exemption or deportation proceedings. [13]
– Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was authorized by President Obama in 2012; it provided certified undocumented youth “access to relief from deportation, eco-friendly work permits, and short-lived 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 qualified for an Employment Authorization Document. [15]
