Background: migration control and work 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 increase of un-regulated immigration, many concerned about how this would impact the economy and, at the very same time, citizens. Consequently, in 1986, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and employment Control Act "in order to manage and discourage unlawful immigration to the United States" resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act carried out new work guidelines that imposed company sanctions, criminal and employment civil penalties "against employers who intentionally [employed] prohibited employees". [8] Prior to this reform, employers were not needed to confirm the identity and work permission of their employees; for the very 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 required to be used by companies to "verify the identity and employment authorization of people employed for work in the United States". [10] While this type is not to be sent unless asked for by federal government authorities, it is needed that all companies have an I-9 kind from each of their staff members, which they must be maintain for three years after day of hire or one year after work is ended. [11]

I-9 certifying citizenship or immigration statuses

- A resident of the United States.
- A noncitizen national of the United States.
- A lawful permanent local.
- An alien licensed to work - As an "Alien Authorized to Work," the worker should supply an "A-Number" present in the EAD card, together with the expiration day of the short-term work authorization. Thus, as developed by type I-9, the EAD card is a document which serves as both an identification and confirmation of work eligibility. [10]

Concurrently, the Immigration Act of 1990 "increased the limits on lawful migration to the United States," [...] "established new nonimmigrant admission categories," and modified appropriate premises for deportation. Most importantly, it brought to light the "authorized short-lived safeguarded status" for aliens of designated nations. [7]

Through the revision and production of brand-new classes of nonimmigrants, qualified for admission and short-lived working status, both IRCA and the Immigration Act of 1990 supplied legislation for the regulation of work 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 concentrate on interior reinforcement of laws to lower prohibited migration and to recognize and eliminate criminal aliens. [12]

Temporary employee: Alien Authorized to Work

Undocumented Immigrants are people in the United States without lawful status. When these individuals receive some type of remedy for deportation, individuals might certify for some form of legal status. In this case, temporarily protected noncitizens are those who are given "the right to remain in the nation and work during a designated duration". Thus, this is sort of an "in-between status" that provides people short-term work and momentary remedy for deportation, however it does not result in irreversible residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, an Employment Authorization Document need to not be puzzled with a legalization file and it is neither U.S. long-term local 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 short-lived legal status

Examples of "Temporarily Protected" noncitizens (eligible for a Work Authorization Document)

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) - Under Temporary Protected Status, people are provided remedy for deportation as short-lived refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are offered secured status if found that "conditions in that nation posture a danger to individual security due to ongoing armed dispute or an ecological disaster". This status is approved usually for 6 to 18 month periods, eligible for renewal unless the person's Temporary Protected Status is ended by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. If withdrawal of Temporary Protected Status occurs, the individual faces exemption or deportation proceedings. [13]

- Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was licensed by President Obama in 2012; it offered certified undocumented youth "access to remedy for deportation, eco-friendly work authorizations, and temporary 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, security from deportation and make them qualified for a Work Authorization Document. [15]
