Background: migration control and work regulations

Undocumented immigrants have been considered a source of low-wage labor, both in the official and informal sectors of the economy. However, in the late 1980s with an increasing increase of un-regulated migration, numerous anxious about how this would affect the economy and, at the same time, employment people. 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 implemented new work guidelines that enforced employer sanctions, criminal and civil penalties “against companies who intentionally [employed] illegal employees”. [8] Prior to this reform, companies were not needed to validate the identity and work authorization 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 required to be utilized by companies to “verify the identity and employment permission of people employed for work in the United States”. [10] While this type is not to be sent unless requested by government authorities, it is needed that all employers have an I-9 kind from each of their employees, which they need to be keep for three years after day of hire or one year after employment is terminated. [11]

I-9 certifying citizenship or immigration statuses

– A citizen of the United States.
– A noncitizen national of the United States.
– A lawful irreversible citizen.
– An alien authorized to work – As an “Alien Authorized to Work,” the employee needs to provide an “A-Number” present in the EAD card, together with the expiration day of the short-lived employment permission. 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 limitations on lawful immigration to the United States,” […] “recognized new nonimmigrant admission classifications,” 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, received admission and temporary working status, both IRCA and the Immigration Act of 1990 offered legislation for the guideline 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 intensified its concentrate on interior support of immigration laws to lower unlawful migration 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 some kind of relief from deportation, people might get approved for 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 period”. Thus, this is sort of an “in-between status” that supplies people short-lived employment and temporary remedy for deportation, but it does not lead to irreversible residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, a Work Authorization Document must not be puzzled with a legalization file and it is neither U.S. irreversible citizen status nor U.S. citizenship status. The Employment Authorization Document is provided, as mentioned previously, to qualified noncitizens as part of a reform or law that gives people temporary legal status

Examples of “Temporarily Protected” noncitizens (eligible for an Employment Authorization Document)

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) – Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are offered remedy for deportation as momentary refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, people are provided protected status if discovered that “conditions because country present a threat to individual security due to ongoing armed dispute or an environmental disaster”. This status is given generally for 6 to 18 month periods, 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 happens, the private faces exemption or deportation procedures. [13]
– Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was licensed by President Obama in 2012; it offered qualified undocumented youth “access to remedy for 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 offer parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, defense from deportation and make them qualified for an Employment Authorization Document. [15]
