Background: migration control and work regulations

Undocumented immigrants have been considered a source of low-wage labor, both in the formal and informal sectors of the economy. However, employment in the late 1980s with an increasing influx of un-regulated migration, numerous worried 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 hinder illegal migration to the United States” resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act implemented brand-new employment guidelines that enforced company sanctions, criminal and civil charges “versus employers who knowingly [employed] prohibited employees”. [8] Prior to this reform, employers were not required to verify the identity and employment authorization of their employees; 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 required to be utilized by companies to “confirm the identity and employment permission of individuals employed for employment in the United States”. [10] While this form is not to be submitted unless requested 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 keep for 3 years after day of hire or one year after work is ended. [11]

I-9 certifying citizenship or migration statuses

– A person of the United States.
– A noncitizen national of the United States.
– A legal permanent resident.
– An alien licensed to work – As an “Alien Authorized to Work,” the employee must supply an “A-Number” present in the EAD card, along with the expiration day of the momentary work authorization. Thus, as established by type I-9, the EAD card is a document which acts as both an identification and confirmation of work eligibility. [10]

Concurrently, employment the Immigration Act of 1990 “increased the limitations on legal immigration to the United States,” […] “established brand-new nonimmigrant admission classifications,” and modified acceptable premises for deportation. Most significantly, it brought to light the “authorized momentary protected status” for aliens of designated countries. [7]

Through the revision and creation of new classes of nonimmigrants, gotten approved for admission and momentary working status, both IRCA and the Act of 1990 provided legislation for the policy of employment of noncitizen.

The 9/11 attacks brought to the surface area the weak element of the migration system. After the September 11 attacks, the United States heightened its focus on interior support of migration laws to minimize prohibited migration and to recognize and remove criminal aliens. [12]

Temporary employee: Alien Authorized to Work

Undocumented Immigrants are individuals in the United States without legal status. When these people get approved for some type of relief from deportation, individuals may receive some form of legal status. In this case, briefly secured noncitizens are those who are approved “the right to stay in the country and work during a designated duration”. Thus, this is type of an “in-between status” that provides people short-term work and temporary relief from deportation, however it does not lead to long-term residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, an Employment Authorization Document ought to not be confused with a legalization file and it is neither U.S. long-term homeowner status nor U.S. citizenship status. The Employment Authorization Document is provided, as pointed out previously, to eligible 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, people are offered relief from deportation as short-lived refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are offered protected status if discovered that “conditions in that country posture a risk to individual security due to ongoing armed conflict or an ecological disaster”. This status is granted typically for 6 to 18 month periods, employment 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 takes place, employment the private faces exemption 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 short-term 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, protection from deportation and make them eligible for a Work Authorization Document. [15]
