The immigration Reform and Control

The immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 has placed a major responsibility on employers for stopping the flow of illegal immigration to the United State. The employer-not the government-is the chief enforcer of the prohibition against the unauthorized recruitment and employment of the foreign-born individuals. Under the law’s “employer sanctions” arrangement, all employers are required to screen every applicant’s eligibility for lawful employment and maintain records demonstrating employment authorization.
